Store Review: Colombard is not considered one of the great wine grapes and is used mostly for Cognac in France and white jug wine in California. This old vine example from South Africa, though, is delicious. Crisp and refreshing with zesty acidity, it's a delightful wine to start a party.
My Review: This wine was very pleasant. It felt like a fairly average white wine, with all the markers you'd expect - refreshing and citrusy. It had a bit of a sour grape smell to it and it was a little bit bitter, but in a very pleasant way.
I tried this wine on its own with no food.
