Named after the small size of its berries, Petit Verdot was one of the key grapes in the blends of prominent Bordeaux châteaux from Médoc in the 1700s. It is an old, strong, and unique grape variety with much character, superbly illustrated in this rich and intense Petit Verdot wine from Quinta do Noval. Smooth and concentrated with ripe tannins and a long finish, this is a charming wine to pair with roast beef, a lamb stew or cured meat, and cheese.
