Wine Details
Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
Petit Verdot is a type of red wine grape, principally used in classic Bordeaux blends. It ripens much later than the other varieties in Bordeaux, often too late, so it fell out of favor in its home region. When it does ripen, it is added in small amounts to add tannin, color and flavor to the blend. It has attracted attention among winemakers in the New World, where it ripens more reliably and has been made into single varietal wine.
When young its aromas have been likened to banana and pencil shavings. Strong tones of violet and leather develop as it matures.
