Petit Manseng (sometimes translated: Small Manseng rarely Little Manseng) is a white wine grape variety that is grown primarily in South West France. It produces the highest quality wine of any grape in the Manseng family. The name is derived from its small thick skin berries. Coupled with the small yields of the grapevine most Petit Manseng farmers produce around 15 hl of wine per hectare. The grape is often left on the vine till December to produce a late harvest dessert wine.
