Product description
Michael David Freakshow "Petite" Petit is a distinctive Californian red wine that captures all the benefits of the warm, sun-drenched climate of the Lodi wine region. This cuvée is made from 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Petit Verdot, delivering deep colour intensity, a full body and a complex aromatic profile. The eye-catching label, typical of the Freakshow series, reflects the wine’s bohemian yet serious character.
Aroma and flavour
The bouquet is rich and intense, with ripe black fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant, dried plum, and subtle notes of vanilla, spice and light toast. On the palate it is full-bodied with a dense texture, yet remains approachable and smooth, supported by firm but well-integrated tannins.
Flavours of dark berries are joined by shades of dark chocolate and cocoa, gentle tobacco and woody nuances, along with a hint of sweet spice. The finish is long and warming, underlining the wine’s concentration and power.
Serving suggestions
This wine pairs particularly well with bold, flavourful dishes. It is a confident choice with red meats, roast beef or lamb, spicy BBQ dishes, grilled specialities and aged hard cheeses. Thanks to its structure, it is best served at 16–18 °C in a large red wine glass to allow its aromas to fully open.
After opening, a short period of aeration is beneficial, helping the tannins to become even smoother while the fruity and spicy notes show more harmony.
Occasions and style
Michael David Freakshow "Petite" Petit is an ideal option for those who enjoy full, intense red wines with a playful edge. It works well at casual gatherings, barbecues or as a partner to special dinners, and can also be a satisfying companion at the end of a long day.
In style, it is modern and fruit-driven with a clearly defined structure, making it an appealing alternative for fans of full-bodied, Syrah-based reds. The unique Freakshow packaging also makes it an eye-catching choice for gifting.
