Colombard

Colombard is a variety of wine grape, better known as French Colombard in North America.

Old vine grapes are crushed by some northern Californian producers and made into a fruity white wine of interesting character in both dry and sweet versions. This grape is mainly grown in California to provide backbone, due to its natural acidic character, for white `jug wine` blends. It is still grown in South West France where it is used for white wine blends in certain Bordeaux and Gascony AOC`s and is also used for distilling into brandy. It is also widely grown in South Africa.
