Bordeaux's secret spice — inky, floral and powerfully structured.
Petit Verdot ripens very late, so in Bordeaux it only makes up a few percent of the blend — but those few percent add colour, violet perfume and tannic backbone. In warmer places like Australia, Spain and Virginia it ripens fully and is increasingly bottled on its own.
