Wine Aroma

Wine aroma refers to the smells we perceive when we smell wine, which come from a combination of the grapes, fermentation process, and aging. These aromas can range from fruity, floral, and spicy to earthy, woody, or nutty. They are caused by various chemical compounds in the wine, which activate our olfactory receptors. Recognizing these aromas helps us appreciate the wine's character and quality. Just as with tasting, smelling wine is about exploring its layers and complexity, enabling a more full and enjoyable experience.
