{"title":"Wines: Colombard","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn France Colombard was traditionally grown in the Charentes and Gascony for distilling into Cognac and Armagnac respectively. Today it is still among the permitted white grape varieties in Bordeaux wine,  Gascony for Vins de Pays Côtes de Gascogne, and the white Floc de Gascogne. Old vine grapes are crushed by some northern Californian producers and made into a fruity white wine of interesting character in both dry and sweet versions. This grape is mainly grown in California to provide backbone, due to its natural acidic character, for white \"jug wine\" blends.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"florenbelle-colombard-blanc-sec-2023-750ml","title":"Florenbelle Colombard Blanc Sec - 2023 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePale colour with green tints.
