Petit Verdot

Petit verdot is a red wine grape traditionally grown in France’s Bordeaux valley.
Rarely grown in quantity and is most often used as a blending wine in Bordeaux wines in order to add tannin, colour and flavour. The name Petit Verdot means “little green,” a reference to the difficulties of growing petit verdot grapes in the Bordeaux region. Winegrowers in California Australia, and Argentina have started to grow this varietal with great success.

V1 Estates are produced with high quality grapes from various countries and regions determined each harvest. Each harvest we find the best quality grapes in specific regions of Sicily, Chile, Argentina, California and Ontario. San Juan province is the second city of the country for its volume of grapes and wine productions. This Petit Verdot comes from the Tulum Valley which is located between the Andes and Pie de Palo hills at the left bank of San Juan River.
