Petit Verdot is a variety of red wine grape, principally used in classic Bordeaux blends. It ripens much later than the other varieties in Bordeaux, often too late, so it fell out of favour in its home region. It has attracted attention among winemakers in the New World, where it ripens more reliably and has been made into single varietal wine. "First release from Water Wheel and its a stunner. Intensity and full on enjoyment. Brilliantly vibrant purple-you could fall in love with the mere look of it. Talk about velvet. Boysenberry,blackberry,blackcurrant fruit and loads and loads of violets. Delicious to the max and very concentrated.Really quite something." 92/100 Campbell Mattinson The big red wine book
