Rimfire Colombard
There's no going past the wonderfully pungent, fresh aromatics of this wine. Rimfire Colombard is highly regarded for its highly fragrant, juicy pineapple character which floods the nose and palate. Passionfruit is the next most obvious element, supported by hints of lime, kiwifruit, apple and the fresh, zingy aromas of grassiness and lemon zest. The flavours are full, juicy, cool, ultra-lively and very long – the piercing freshness is long-lived on the palate.

Colombard originated in the Charente district of France. Once the second most planted grape in California , today Colombard is rarely found as a varietal wine.

If you enjoyed Rimfire Colombard try Rimfire's classy rosé Tinta or the deliciously fresh citrus characters of our Unoaked Chardonnay.

Rimfire Unoaked Chardonnay
This wine has been crafted as an unoaked style to preserve the superb aromatics and concentrated flavours of Chardonnay fruit from the Rimfire vineyard. Rimfire's Unoaked Chardonnay exhibits ripe melon, pear and fruit salad characters and finishes clean and fresh on the palate. A classy partner to a long, lazy lunch, though perfectly delightful served alone.

The quality of Unoaked Chardonnay depends entirely on that of the grapes from which it is made. Rimfire Chardonnay fruit is carefully nurtured in our vineyard by our own dedicated viticultural team and fruit harvested from these blocks are intense in aromas and flavours.

Rimfire Chardonnay

A bright, golden-coloured wine, Rimfire's fuller bodied Chardonnay exhibits ripe varietal characters. Concentrated aromas of melon and stone-fruits dominate the nose, while primary melon / pear flavours are lifted by the careful use of oak to create gentle overtones of vanillin. Malolactic fermentation has added a round, creamy finish to this fuller bodied style of wine. Rimfire Chardonnay is best paired with simply prepared seafood and poultry dishes.

The queen to Cabernet Sauvignon's king, Chardonnay is grown and produced throughout the world. The famous Champagne , Chablis, White Burgundy and Maconnais wines from France are all made from Chardonnay. Rimfire Chardonnay produces two varietal wine styles: the rich, buttery, oaked-style Chardonnay featured above and the fresh, crisp and fruit-driven Unoaked Chardonnay.
