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.
