Colombard (White)
|
 |
 |
This grape with Palomino, Ugni Blanc (Trebbiano), Chenin Blanc and several other varieties, is the mainstay of brandy production in the Cape. Colombard, which is still used to a minor degree in Cognac distilling and at best also yields light, tropical fruity dry and sweetish wines that can make delightful if not typically bargain priced alfresco partners. While most are drunk young and frisky, some wineries have proved it can mature with charm. Regularly used in dry white blends.
