The Chaski Petit Verdot from Perez Cruz is a superb example of this little known grape variety. This a complex and elegant wine with delightful soft tannins which lead to a lovely spicy flavour and herbaceous aromas. The finish is long and persistant and it’s subtle flavours will last and linger in the mouth. As you would expect Perez Cruz Petit Verdot is a superb match to steak, other rich red meats and spicy lentil dishes.
The word “Chaski” refers to the ancient Inca for “messenger,” and in fact celebrates an actual Incan “chaski” trail, marked by stone-lined paths as can be seen on the label, that is found on the family property.
