Carnival French Colombard Wine Details

Description: This French Colombard comes from an old head-trained vineyard in Redwood Valley, Mendocino County. The vineyard is situated in a cool growing area, and this fruit is often some of the last fruit that we harvest.

Varietal Definition
Colombard:
Better known as French Colombard in North America. Acidic grape crushed by some northern Californian producers and made into a fruity white wine of simple character in both dry and sweet versions. Mainly grown in California to provide acidic backbone for white "jug" wine blends. Still grown in France where it is used for white wine blends known as "Bordeaux Blanc" and is also used for distilling into brandy. Also widely grown in South Africa.
