Buy Wine with Petit Verdot
Petit Verdot is a variety original from Gironde. It has an early budding but late ripening (even later to the Cabernet Sauvignon). It is fertile and quite productive, very suitable for gravel soil, but drought-sensitive. Its berries are small with thick skin so they can endure botrytis cinerea. In cold climates, Petit Verdot grapes tend to be small, green and seedless.
When grapes are ripen, unusual in Bourdeaux, Petit Verdot wines are full-bodied, rich, with deep colour, tannic, with good bottle ageing, spiced and with good alcohol and acidity levels. Commonly, Petit Verdot is used in very low proportion, for Bourdeaux coupage wines, though some wineries use a high proportion, for instance: Château La Lagune, Léoville Poyferré, Château Margaux, Château Palmer and Château Pichon Lalande.
In Spain, Petit Verdot was introduced by Marqués de Griñón with Dominio Valdepusa wines, Toledo, where its luscious grapes ripen well. Some wineries where Petit Verdot is blended with other varieties are: Abadía Retuerta (Castilla y León); Casa de la Ermita (Jumilla); Arrayán (Méntrida); Finca Antigua (La Mancha); Enrique Mendoza (Alicante); and Pago del Vicario (Castilla).
