This refreshing, dry wine has lovely aromas and flavors of lime, lemongrass, and grapefruit. The juicy fruit flavors are nicely balanced by mouth-watering acidity.
Colombard, also known as French Colombard, is a French variety that may be the offspring of Chenin Blanc and Gouais Blanc. It’s most important not for table wine but Cognac and Armagnac brandy. It does however, supplement white Bordeaux wines and several other French regions. Colombard was California’s premier and most widely planted white grape in the 1980’s and still has its highest concentrations in California. Once maligned by its wide use in jug wine, the variety has gained respect over the years.
