Colombard
Colombard is a lively grape variety best known for bringing bright citrus fruit and a crisp, refreshing finish to your glass. Often associated with the southwest of France, it is widely grown for its easygoing style and its ability to stay vibrant even in warmer seasons. You’ll typically find Colombard wines with flavours of lemon, green apple and pear, plus a subtle herbal lift that makes them particularly appealing alongside everyday food.
As a category, Colombard is a great choice if you enjoy wines that feel light to medium bodied, clean and zesty rather than heavy or overly oaked. Many expressions are made to be enjoyed young, so they’re perfect for relaxed evenings, picnics and casual get togethers. It also appears in blends, where it can add freshness and aromatic clarity to other varieties.
If you’re exploring the Grapes range and want something straightforward yet full of character, Colombard is a wonderfully versatile pick. Its natural energy pairs well with salads, seafood, grilled chicken and soft cheeses, offering a refreshing alternative to more neutral whites.
