Varietal

Colombard

Colombard is a white grape variety originating from southwest France, particularly known for its high acidity and aromatic potential. It is widely planted in Gascony and other regions, including South Africa and California. Colombard wines are characterized by their lively acidity, citrus flavors like lemon and grapefruit, and subtle herbal notes. They are often used in blends to add freshness and complexity, particularly in white Bordeaux blends and Cognac production. What makes Colombard unique is its versatility; it can be vinified into a range of styles from light, zesty whites to richer, more textured wines with oak aging. The grape’s ability to retain acidity even in warm climates makes it resilient and well-suited to diverse winemaking practices. Colombard wines are ideal for pairing with seafood, salads, and light dishes, offering a crisp and refreshing drinking experience.
