About This Wine


Masterworks Series

Colombard

Masterworks Series has visited yet another region to expand its collection of stunning wines. Our 2022 Colombard is light and bright with notes of fresh flowers, green fruit and mouthwatering acidity. Colombard is native to Gascony, where it creates refreshing wines with layers of nuanced flavor that open in the glass. Time slows down in this rural corner of southeast France. The days are filled with good food and great wine as locals and travelers escape life's hustle and bustle. The region's picturesque countryside is a perfect canvas for winegrowing. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Pyrenees Mountains, vineyards enjoy warm days and cool nights as grapes ripen throughout long summers. Enjoy our Colombard with friends and a shared meal featuring seasonal fruit or fresh seafood. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Côtes de Gascogne

Gascony is the ultimate expression of rural, southwestern France. Vineyards stretch from the peaks of the Pyrenees to the Atlantic Coast. Food and wine are significant parts of the culture here, where locals reliably have a bottle of "Côtes de Gascogne" on the table during meals. These are usually white blends featuring Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Sauvignon Blanc. They are typically light-bodied and dry with refreshing citrus and tropical fruit notes. Though red and rosé wines from this region are rare, those found are usually made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Tannat. IGP (Indication Géographique protégée) within France’s wine classification system focuses on controlling regional and geographical origin. The category is less restrictive than the AOC classification and gives winemakers to have more freedom with style and taste profile when creating wines.
