As for white wines like chardonnay, pinot gris, and sauvignon blanc, they are meant to be consumed within a few years of their harvest dates, and typically don't get any better with age.
How long does Chardonnay last unopened?
Unopened Chardonnay: 2-3 years. Unopened Riesling: 3-5 years. Unopened Sauvignon Blanc: 18 months to 2 years. Unopened Pinot Gris: 1-2 years.
How can you tell if Chardonnay is bad?
Chardonnay, or other white wines that have been treated with oak, may be slightly darker in color than other varietals. But if you notice your white wine has a deep golden color, or any browning, it may be a sign the wine is either old or oxidized.
