“Pretty nose of violets, peppercorns, purple plums, cassis and licorice. Medium to full body with ripe tannins supporting a juicy core of sweet blue fruit. Well rounded. Drink now.”–James Suckling (Jun 2022)
SPEC | Vintage 2020
▸ Deep crimson with an intense, lingering aroma of red berry fruits, cherry, and juniper. ▸ Elegant and full-bodied with rich velvety tannis, this wine presents a spicy and white peppery finish. ▸ Vinified with two techniques: The 'submerged cap' technique is aimed at extracting the grape's softer tannins; the 'punch down', for its strong colour. ▸ Part of the new wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, the other part in wood. After blending, the wine spends 8-12 months in barrique then 6 months of bottle aging before release.
Food pairingsPetit Verdot is a red grape variety from Bordeaux, France, like it's blending partners – Cab Sauv and Merlot, the Petit Verdot pairs well with red meats and savoury sauce dishes.
