Notes	Colombart is a traditionally cultivated white berry to obtain a sour and thin wine to distill out by producing Cognac and Armagnac. It is one of the most widely cultivated vines in California as well as in Australia and South Africa. In South West France it is also turned into a light, soft and fruity table wine, not expensive and destined to be drunk right away. In California, it is usually mixed with Chenin Blanc to make moderately dry and fruity caraway wines. Despite its origins, Colombard grape wines are young to drink and may begin to deplete after 3 or 4 years from bottling.
