Petit Verdot is becoming the ‘Australian Cousin’ of Shiraz – ripening a couple of weeks after Shiraz, it thrives in warmer regions. The dense colour and violet aroma delivers a unique flavour profile. Bright crimson colour with crimson mauve purple hue. Medium body, showing good cling. Top note of violet infusions, followed by cassis and cherry, with cedar end note. The palate displays good weight and mouthfeel – there is a sense of inkiness with plum and cherry flavours being supported by fine slightly chalky tannins. Inky plum aftertaste.
