Tasting Notes
The nose is deep and intense, opening with blackberry, blackcurrant and dark plum, layered with violet, graphite and cracked black pepper. As it develops, it reveals notes of dark chocolate, cedarwood and clove spice, reflecting its oak maturation.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and firmly structured, with dense dark fruit at the core. The mid-palate shows Petit Verdot’s signature profile; firm tannins and pronounced structure, supported by flavours of cassis, spice and subtle oak influence, creating depth and grip.
The finish is long and commanding, marked by lingering blackcurrant, cocoa, spice and a mineral edge, leaving a powerful and persistent impression.
Food Pairing
This Petit Verdot pairs exceptionally well with nyama choma, grilled steak, lamb and slow-cooked meats, where its firm structure complements rich, bold flavours. It also works well with aged cheeses and hearty dishes, enhancing intensity and depth.
It is a strong choice for formal dinners, celebrations and special occasions, offering a wine with presence and character.
