Underdog Grape · Israel

Petit Verdot

Every Hanukkah table gets the same kosher Cabernet. Bring Petit Verdot instead: a Bordeaux blending grape almost nobody bottles alone, made kosher in Israel, where the heat finally ripens it.

Tasting profile
Inky purple, with black plum, blackberry and spice over firm tannin; grown somewhere hot, it adds a licorice note.
