| Tesco Cotes de Gascogne Blanc 2017, Southwest France (PS5, Tesco): This fresh, crisp white - a blend of

The white grape is
colombard that has a delicious sherberty nature and freshness.
The white is a simple
colombard, a forgotten grape not really regarded as regal.
It's made in Gascony, in the heart of southern France, from the workhorse
Colombard and Ugni Blanc grapes, spruced up with some Sauvignon.
