Colombard

This fairly neutral grape, once preferred solely for brandy production (notably Armagnac) is planted globally. Generally blended with other grapes, easy-drinking table wines result. Pairing: Colombard is often blended with Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay to produce a tart, mouth-watering white that pairs excellently with lighter fair from salads to sushi. Profile (Wine Folly): Dry, Light Body, None Tannins, High Acidity, 11.5–13.5% ABV. Serving: serve at 45–55°F / 7-12°C; white-wine glass; no need to decant; cellar 1–3 years.
