PETIT VERDOT
(peh-TEE vur-DOE)
Grown: Across Pennsylvania,
but particularly in the
SouthEast region
Hailing from the Bordeaux region
of France, Petit Verdot is a lateripening
red wine grape renowned
for its vibrant color, high tannins,
and signature floral aroma. Because
of those traits, the varietal has long
been a key player in Bordeaux's
vaunted red blends, but in the New
World, it is earning a reputation as
a standalone grape.
The name Petit Verdot means " little
green one, " which is a nod to the
grape's delayed ripening - the small
berries remain green while other
fruit is ready for harvest. Because
of that, many winemakers in France
have actually moved away from the
varietal, replacing it with Merlot and
Cabernet Franc.
Fortunately, Petit Verdot seems
to do best in warm, well-drained,
gravel-based soils, just like those in
Southeastern Pennsylvania. Quite a
few Chester County and Leigh Valley
wineries are having major success
with this tricky grape.
When cultivated in cooler climates,
Petit Verdot exhibits flavors of
dried herbs, tart blueberry, and
blackberry. Meanwhile, warmer
conditions will translate to jammier
dark fruit notes. Other flavors include
plum and black cherry. Take note
of complex herbal aromas such as
lilac, lavender, sage, and violet. Some
iterations are delightfully rustic, with
hints of leather and graphite. Most
winemakers will age these wines in
oak, fostering undercurrents of vanilla
and hazelnut. Overall, these wines are
dry and full-bodied, with high tannins
and medium-plus acidity.
Thanks to its relatively high acidity,
Petit Verdot is wonderful served
alongside rich dishes such as roasted
lamb, creamy mushroom pasta, or
soft cheeses. Even better, choose
a dish that balances richness with a
touch of sweetness or spice - this
will bring out the wine's earthy and
herbal flavors. Think Korean short
ribs (galbi), enchiladas with mole, or
caramel-y aged gouda.
