Petit Verdot
Petit Verdot (Eng. "Small green body") is a very late-ripening red wine variety that produces a tannin-rich and acidic wine .
Growing areas
In some places in the Bordeaux wine-growing region , especially in Margaux , the Petit Verdot is added in small parts to the cuvée to give the wine more strength and longevity. Otherwise, the vines are mainly grown in hot South Australia (e.g. Barossa Valley and the surrounding area), where very strong, colorful and robust, sometimes large varietal wines are made from it. Small plantings are also known in Chile , Israel , South Africa , California , New Zealand , Argentina , Sicily , Spain , Portugal and Switzerland . Of the French growing regions, the Languedoc should also be mentioned.

ancestry
Autochthonous variety in southwest France. A broad-based DNA analysis showed that the Trousseau is a likely natural cross between the Duras and Petit Verdot grape varieties . A study published in 2007 suggests that the white arrufiate is genetically closely related to the Verdot grape family.
Synonyms
The Petit Verdot grape variety is also known under the names Bouton Blanc, Carmelin, Héran, Lambrusquet, Petit Verdau, Petit Verdot Noir, Verdau, Verdot and Verdot Rouge. For a long time, the Petit Verdot variety was confused with the Fer Servadou .
