More informations about the variety Colombard
Colombard is one of the oldest grape varieties in the Charentes. This golden white grape variety is a cross between Chenin and Gouais. The young leaves of colombard are yellow with bronze patches. The adult leaves may be three-lobed or whole, depending on the variety. Its branches are cottony. The bunches of this variety are thick and cylindrical. Its elliptical berries are medium-sized. They change color until they ripen, ranging from greenish white to golden yellow. Colombard is associated with an average budding. It is particularly susceptible to leafhoppers, grape worms, mites, mildew, powdery mildew and gray mold. It is also sensitive to water stress, but is not very sensitive to wind. It ripens late in the second half of the year. There are a dozen approved clones of Colombard, the best known of which are 608, 607 and 606. This variety produces a full-bodied, fine white wine. Aromas of lime, nectarine, boxwood, citrus and exotic fruits are released.

Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is a kingdom in Southeast Asia. Located in the centre of the Indochinese peninsula, it borders Malaysia to the south, Cambodia to the southeast, Laos to the east and Myanmar (Burma) to the west. Thailand is perhaps best known for its beer, with brands such as Chang and Singha, but it also has a number of rum producers and the wine industry is also beginning to gain international recognition, often through pairings with Thai cuisine. Thailand's first Vineyards were planted in the 1960s and were intended to produce table Grapes, but over the past three or four decades a number of vinifera varieties have also been grown.
