Tense, thirst-quenching profile. Occasionally used in local blends of the Vinho Verde DOC, it is a heritage witness of the ancient grape varieties of the Minho. Rare Portuguese white variety from the Paiva sub-region.

The wine region of Côtes de Gascogne
Reference for accessible dry whites of the South-West: signature Colombard as white king — lively and aromatic with notes of lemon, grapefruit, mango, passion fruit, white flowers and a touch of green citrus, brisk acidity and moderate alcohol (9-11%) — a gourmet aperitif. Straight Ugni Blanc in the blend, more floral Sauvignon and rounder Gros Manseng as complements. A few honeyed sweet wines. Vast Gers IGP (Armagnac), oceanic climate, clay-limestone soils.
The wine region of Comté Tolosan
IGP covering all of southwest France across 12 departments, a broad and accessible palette. On the Garonne right bank, supple reds dominate: signature Merlot with signature notes of plum, ripe cherry, cocoa and a herbaceous touch, round tannins. Firm Cabernet, spicy Syrah, tannic local Tannat. Left bank for whites: vivid Colombard and Gros Manseng (citrus, grapefruit, exotic fruits), aromatic Sauvignon.
The word of the wine: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
