In the mouth
Elevated natural acidity provides essential structure, supporting firm tannins whilst maintaining freshness and preventing any sense of heaviness. A wine of genuine character.
This Petit Verdot represents an intriguing departure from classical Médoc assemblages. It possesses genuine backbone and aromatic intensity, combining the region's hallmark structure with pronounced floral and spiced character. A wine for those seeking substance and distinctive identity. Excellent with roasted lamb or venison.
