History and Characteristics

The Colombard is one of the most often planted white wine grapes in California. This highly productive grape from France (therefore also called French Colombard) has expanded rapidly because of its ability to thrive in the hot weather of the central California valley and still produce a very drinkable, pleasant tasting wine.
The result is a Colombard produces a crisp, moderately dry, spicy wine that is only slightly acid with a lovely scent of flowers. Because of its smooth taste and low levels of acidity it is often blended as a base for Chenin Blanc, jug wines and less expensive sparkling wines. When blended with sparkling wines it In this case, when properly blended, it can be undistinguishable from finer wines selling at many times the price.
In Europe it is popular in the Charente district but has been widely displaced by the Tebbiano grape although it is still grown in parts of Bordeau. Colombard is not considered to be a great wine but because of its innocuous but smooth taste it is really a G0dsend to the vintner who wants to stretch a supply of wines that are "au courrant" without disturbing the special characteristics of the more favored varietel.
