Narrative

Per Galet (see citation): "Growing tip: felty, white with very slight rose margin. Young leaves: downy, yellowish. Leaf: orbicular-reniform 025-2-46. Shoot: brownish-green with partially pink nodes; tendrils pale yellow, thin, medium length. Cane: orange-yellow, nodes slightly darker, no bloom. Cluster: cylindrical, winged; berries golden white, medium, 12mm, oval. This variety comes from the charente region where it was first cultivated to furnish white wine to the Dutch who preferred its alcoholic, less herbaceous wine to that of Folle blanche. When distilled, it makes a good brandy whose quality is slightly inferior to that of Folle blanche or St. Emilion. Budbreak is a little after Folle blanche and maturity is about the same, midseason. Although it is very sensitive to powdery mildew, Colmobard has some resistance to botrytis and thus may be left to hang longer on the vine. It also has some resistance to low winter temperatures." Information from www.wineloverspage.com/wineguest/wgg.html: "The grapes from old vines are crushed by some northern Californian producers and made into a fruity white wine of interesting character in both dry and sweet versions. Otherwise mainly grown in California to provide backbone, due to its natural acidic character, for white 'jug' wine blends. Still grown in S.W. France where it is used for white wine blends in certain Bordeaux and Gascony AOC's and is also used for distilling into brandy. Also widely grown in South America. A recent DNA check by the U.C. Davis team in California demonstrated that this variety possibly resulted from a cross of Gouais Blanc X Chenin Blanc."
