While it’s a variety that’s often blended to enhance the characters of other reds, sample how winemaker John Baruzzi has crafted it into a beautifully expressive straight Petit Verdot from McLaren Vale.
Deep, dark red in colour, it allures with ripe, sweet aromas of dark currant, plums and cedary spice. Intense, ripe dark fruits and firm tannins characterise the palate, which has a juicy core of fruit, terrific balance, mouthwatering acidity and layered persistence.
