Marufuji
Rubaiyat Petit Verdot 2020
Rubaiyat Petit Verdot 2020 from Marufuji comes from Katsunuma in Yamanashi. Petit Verdot leads the blend, complemented by Tannat. The wine matures for 14 months in new oak barrels.
Ripe fruit is accompanied by vanilla and caramel. Concentrated, lively fruit meets soft tannins and gentle acidity on the palate. New oak adds spicy notes to the full-bodied character.

Ageing potential is a guide, not a guarantee of shelf life. Development depends on the vintage, individual bottle and cool, dark storage at a steady temperature. Please ask us for advice on drinking maturity.
