Winery 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 white wine was very refreshing. It smelled a bit acidic, but not in an overpowering or overwhelming sense. I tasted some hints of citrus, like lemon, which I think contributed to the crispness and refreshing factor. The aftertaste was like the smell, a bit acidic. Overall, I liked this wine and would drink it on a hot summer day.
I did not taste this wine with food.
