Gros Verdot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gros Verdot is a red wine grape that originated in the Gironde region of France. Despite the similar name, ampelographers believe there is no relation between this grape and Petit Verdot. [1] The grape is not widely cultivated with some plantings in France and Argentina. The grape produces tart wine and is an acceptable component of Meritage blends. [2]
