Petit Verdot is a red grape variety from the Bordeaux region. It is not always present in Bordeaux wine blends due to the great difficulty it has in fully ripening – it is typically the last variety to be harvested. Petit Verdot produces tannic, fragrant wines, full-bodied with an intensely coloured robe.
Petit Verdot takes the form of very small clusters of very dark, thick-skinned grapes..
