American Petit Verdot

American Petit Verdot, mainly grown in California, is a bold, full-bodied red wine, typically used as a blending grape in Bordeaux-style wines to add colour, tannic structure, and floral aromas. As a standalone variety, it produces deeply coloured wines, offering an intense nose of violets and dried herbs. On the palate, Petit Verdot delivers concentrated flavours of dark fruits like blackberries and blueberries, with hints of spice and often a touch of oak. The wine’s firm tannins and robust structure lend themselves to ageing, allowing the wine to develop additional complexity over time. American Petit Verdot is an excellent choice for those seeking a robust, flavour-rich wine, and pairs well with hearty meats and richly flavoured dishes.
