Petit Verdot is a variety of red wine grape, principally used in classic Bordeaux blends.

Petit verdot has attracted attention among winemakers in the New World, where it ripens more reliably and has been made into single varietal wine.

Tacama winery produces one of its high end wines, "Don Manuel", with 100% Petit Verdot grapes.

[5] The more consistent, warmer climate is a big help in reliably ripening the grape, and producers are starting to experiment with single varietals.

It is also planted in Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Texas, Michigan, Virginia, Ohio, Maryland,[7] Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York,[8] New Mexico, and Washington.

[5] In addition to the countries above, Petit Verdot is used as 'seasoning' in Bordeaux-style blends in British Columbia, New Zealand, South Africa[5] and Spain.

[2] The name Petit Verdot ('small green') refers to one of the main problems with the grape, that often the berries fail to develop properly without the right weather during flowering.
