A minor grape variety of Bordeaux, Petit Verdot in Australia is normally blended with other red varieties to enhance their colour, flavour and tannin structure. Savour this opportunity to taste a straight example.
Deep, dark red with a brick hue in the glass, this expression of Petit Verdot shows aromas of sweet mulberry, plum, cigar box and leather. The palate presents rich, plummy fruit concentration, strong cedary oak, a touch of chocolate and hints of confectionary on the finish.
