Most notably used in Bordeaux style blends, this Petit Verdot makes an enticing statement all on its own.

A rich, weighty full-bodied red!

Petit Verdot

Petit Verdot, a bold red grape varietal originating from Bordeaux, France, adds depth and structure to blends worldwide. Traditionally a minor component in Bordeaux blends, Petit Verdot thrives in warmer climates, where it fully ripens, revealing its intense flavors and robust tannins.

Petit Verdot wines are characterized by their deep color, full body, and rich flavors of dark fruits such as blackberry, plum, and blueberry. Its aromatic profile often includes notes of violets, spice, and earthiness, contributing to its complexity.

While occasionally bottled as a varietal wine, Petit Verdot primarily serves as a blending grape, imparting depth and longevity to Bordeaux-style blends and other red wines. Its ability to enhance structure and intensity makes it a prized component in many renowned wine blends worldwide.
