PATCH WINES PETIT VERDOT 2022

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Hand picked with its usual tiny berries, fruit thinned early on to ensure lush ripeness and concentration at picking. A serious intense wine with violets and blackberries. Bottled without fining or filtration. Limited production of only 350 bottles."

95/100 Brendan Black, WinePilot.com (2022 Vintage)
"I’ve left this wine until last in the list as it was my absolute favourite of the bunch. It has a deep and impenetrable purple colour and this concentration continues onto the nose and palate. The Petit Verdot begins with high-toned red and black fruits – strawberry, mulberry, raspberry, blackcurrant – but these fruits turn darker on the palate. There’s an abundance of spice – pepper, cooking spices – and a smidge of shoe polish, giving it a rich and rewarding scent. The mouthfeel is glorious – very silky – and there’s considerable acidity, so it’s quite vibrant, while the tannins aren’t overbearing. This is a wine you can just sit and sip by itself or have with food, preferably something robust. I very much look forward to the 2023 edition!"
