De Trafford Petit Verdot 2012

De Trafford Petit Verdot 2012 is an intense and deep red wine from the famous Stellenbosch region in South Africa. This wine is made entirely from the Petit Verdot grape, which is usually used in smaller quantities in Bordeaux blends, but here it is allowed to stand alone and showcase its powerful character.

The wine presents itself with a dark, almost opaque ruby ​​red hue. The nose offers concentrated aromas of dark berries such as blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by notes of violets, dark chocolate, spices such as black pepper and cloves, as well as a subtle hint of toasted oak and leather.

On the palate, De Trafford Petit Verdot 2012 is full-bodied and powerful with a solid tannin structure that gives the wine a strong backbone. The palate is rich and complex with layers of dark fruit, spice and a minerality that adds depth. The wine finishes with a long and persistent aftertaste, where fruit and oak are in perfect balance.

This is a wine that is perfect with hearty dishes such as beef, game, stews or aged cheeses. It is ready to be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to develop further with aging for several years.
