Petit Verdot
Dark, full-bodied reds with tight tannins and inky colour, showing aromas of blackberry, violet, gentle spice, liquorice and mentholated balsamic notes. Contributes colour, structure and aromatic freshness to great Médoc blends (Palmer, Léoville-Las Cases) where it remains a minority. Also vinified as a single variety in Spain (La Mancha), California, Australia and Argentina. A late-ripening Bordeaux variety.

Intensely coloured, structured reds with inky robe and firm tannins, with typical aromas of blackberry, black plum, roasted coffee, cocoa, banana and characteristic smoky notes. Made as powerful ageing reds and as more approachable fruity cuvées, sometimes as rosés. Absolute signature of South Africa (Stellenbosch, Swartland, Paarl). Cross of pinot noir × cinsault created in 1925 by Abraham Perold at Stellenbosch University.
