| | Petit verdot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Petit verdot is a variety of black grape used in the production of red wine, principally in blends with Cabernet Sauvignon. | | | The fact that it ripens much later than most of the other varieties of grape means that it cannot successfully be grown in many of the French regions, and is only found in any quantity in the Médoc and Margaux regions of Bordeaux. | | | It has good mid palate character which Cabernet sauvignon lacks, hence Petit verdot's use in many Cabernet sauvignon blends. |

| | Petit Verdot - Appellation America |
| | Though Petit Verdot is no longer planted in any great quantity, this classic black grape from Bordeaux is enjoying a small revival in some quality-conscious vineyards. | | | When fully-ripened, its rich, age worthy, sometimes rather spicy wines can contribute valuably to some of the Medoc’s best wines. | | | However, Petit Verdot's inconveniently late ripening encouraged many producers to abandon it in the 1960s and 1970s, so that total French plantings were just over 740 acres by 1988. |

| | Chardonnay fetches the highest prices of any white grape in Napa Valley, from $2,400 to $2,900 per ton, but that still makes it less valuable than eight red grapes (in order): Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel and Syrah. | | | The Napa Valley Grapegrowers (NVG) released recommended grape prices to guide growers in contracting grapes for 2005, and while most price ranges are steady to about $100 per ton higher than they were in 2004, the recommendation for Petit Verdot is an eye-popping $4,300 to $6,000 per ton -- higher than any other varietal. | | | New wine radio show: Sandra Gonzalez has a new Spanish language wine and food radio show on Santa Rosa's KBBF-FM (89.1). |

| | It makes unsurpassed red wines in Bordeaux, where it goes into their classic Cabernet-Merlot blends, yet the climate there is too cool to ripen it reliably. | | | Best described as a “Super Cabernet”, it makes dark, rich wines with wonderfully concentrated flavors of spice, blackberry and blackcurrant. | | | Not so in Australia, where Petit Verdot rises to glory unseen in the old world. |
