Try something new for a change

We need to talk about Colombard. And Crouchen Blanc. And riesling too. Why? Well, because you may be looking to expand your horizons beyond your usual chenin or sauvignon blanc pick. And because trying new things is good for you. Colombard (also spelt Colombar) is the backbone of the SA brandy industry, so it’s unsurprising that it’s one of the most widely planted wine grapes in the country, especially in warmer areas such as the Northern Cape and Robertson in the Western Cape.
