Absolutely delicious wine! I dont usually drink white wine but really enjoyed this wine. Great for warm summer days and thoroughly enjoyed drinking it paired with my seafood salad.
Jane Kiera –
I’m not usually much of a white wine drinker.. but this grape variety really blew me away! Natalie explained that it was an unusual and rare wine to taste after I mentioned I’d never seen a ‘Colombar’ before.. so I had to try it and I’m so glad I did! Will definitely be buying more of this soon!
Johannah Biddiscombe –
I had a bottle of the Colombar over the weekend; simply delicious. Fruity, dry and crisp. Went well
with dinner. Will be back for more, thanks for the perfect recommendation Nat!!
