Petit Verdot

The red grape variety originates from France. The name "Kleiner Grünling" refers to the high acid content in the grapes, which in the past were often under-ripened due to the sometimes very long ripening period. Synonyms are Bonton Blanc, Bouton, Bouton (Bonton) Blanc, Carmelin, Heran, Herrant, Lambrusquet, Lambrusquet Noir, Petit Verdau, Petit Verdot Nero, Petit Verdot Noir, Plant des Palus, Verdau, Verdot and Verdot Rouge.

Petit Verdot - Traube und Blatt

Parentage

The ancestry (parentage) is unknown. According to DNA analyses, it appears to descend from wild vines near the Pyrenees. Despite some synonyms and morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the Fer (Herrant) or Gros Verdot varieties, which were mentioned together in 1736.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
