In warm conditions it brings deep colour, firm tannin, black fruit, violet perfume and peppery spice.Although traditionally used in small proportions, Petit Verdot is now also made as a varietal wine in warmer regions such as Spain, Australia, California and parts of South America. These wines are usually bold, dark and structured.
