Petit Verdot is a minor Bordeaux variety. Used in Bordeaux blends to add acidity and tannins to a wine.
Difficult to ripen in the Bordeaux climate but not so difficult in the moderate climate of the Northern Grampians. Although late ripening this wine displays rich plum and blackberry flavours with hints of vanilla, violets and mixed spice against a firm acid and tannin background.
The wine's namesake, Lizzie was more at home tending the vineyard than the winery until 2017 when she found herself in charge of our first vintage of Petit Verdot in 2017.
The resulting wine turned out so well that she has been given responsibility for this wine ever since.
