“Hello World!” Petit Verdot comes from a six acre block of the 7 year-old Monte Prado Vineyard. Finca La Estacada’s vineyards are sustainably farmed and outfitted with drip irrigation, which is judiciously used only in extremely dry years in an effort to support the vines in this arid environment. Sitting nearly 3,000 ft above sea level, the high elevation of the estate in combination with the calcareous influence from the lime substrate in the soil present wines are lighter and brighter than one might expect from central Spain.
Tasting Notes: Expressive aromas of violets, dark cherry, and leather. This Petit Verdot delivers an impressive burst of fruit and powerful mouthfeel. Grippy tannins and spice envelope the dry finish.
Varietal: Petit Verdot
