Colombard 2004

Colombard 2004 Wine Details
Price:

Description: Available April 05. This is a simple, sharp, steely, a nice basic wine with an earthy nature and tart grapefruit-like brightness. Our Colombard can be wonderful with vegetarian dishes and pastas. It’s also a good choice for a simple plate of sautéed or grilled fish, where it frames that wonderful fresh sea quality nicely.

Varietal Definition
Colombard:
Better known as French Colombard in North America. Acidic grape crushed by some northern Californian producers and made into a fruity white wine of simple character in both dry and sweet versions. Mainly grown in California to provide acidic backbone for white "jug" wine blends. Still grown in France where it is used for white wine blends known as "Bordeaux Blanc" and is also used for distilling into brandy. Also widely grown in South Africa.
