FRENCH COLOMBARD

Description:
Colombard is largely a grape used for distillation, especially in Cognac & Armagnac, although it has been planted in New World wine districts. Colombard is essentially a blending variety when used for white wines, although Primo Estate in the Adelaide Hills, Australia, manage to consistently produce a commendable aromatic wine of some intensity. Add some wood and mix with Chardonnay, and you have a stroke of quaffing magic - the natural acidity of Colombard enhances the ripe peachy flavours of warm area Chardonnay to produce a very marketable wine.
