Petit Verdot
Petit Verdot, traditionally used in blends, is a sophisticate of a grape. Intensely floral and fruity it also has mild coffee and chocolate notes. Mint, eucalyptus and herbal notes and a luscious lift to the finish making this wine eminently drinkable. Classic, unfussy meat dishes will go hand in hand with this lovely wine.
