Behind every sip we take during a\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cb> sensory analysis of wine\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cspan>, there's a chemical story worth telling, and today we're diving into it to discover \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cb>those wine aromas\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cspan> that make your glass unique.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>Let's start with green pepper. Did you ever imagine it in your wine? Well, yes: some red wines, especially those made from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, can surprise you with this rather unusual aroma. The molecule responsible is pyrazine, which is found in the grape skins and gives that distinctive herbaceous touch.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>But wait, there's more. Have you ever smelt a wine and been transported to a garden full of geraniums? You're not dreaming! Some white wines, such as those made from Gewürztraminer, can show floral aromas reminiscent of geranium. This is down to compounds such as monoterpenes, which are found in the grape skins and bring those delicate floral aromas.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25374 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fstorage.googleapis.com\u002Fenolovers\u002Farticles\u002F43d6c539-22d3-46cf-8596-2cddb70e9ce9\u002FENOLOVERS-72-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>And the magic doesn't end there. What if I told you some wines can remind you of a delicious red berry jam? Yes, it's possible! Wines made from grapes such as Syrah or Malbec can show intense fruity aromas that bring to mind that homemade jam your gran used to make and you love so much. These aromas come from compounds such as esters, which form during fermentation and deliver that burst of fruit in your glass.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>And speaking of fruit, what about those white wines that give off aromas of tropical pineapple? A real treat! This exotic aroma is due to compounds such as methyl butyrate, found in some grape varieties like Chardonnay, which adds that distinctive tropical touch.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>But it's not all fruit and flowers in the world of wine; there's also room for earthier, mineral aromas. Have you ever tasted a wine that reminded you of wet earth or warm stones? This is down to compounds such as thiols, which are found in the soil where the vines grow and are passed on to the wine, bringing those very particular aromas.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25376 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fstorage.googleapis.com\u002Fenolovers\u002Farticles\u002F43d6c539-22d3-46cf-8596-2cddb70e9ce9\u002FENOLOVERS-36-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan>In conclusion, the world of \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cb>wine aromas\u003C\u002Fb>\u003Cspan> is an infinite universe of scents and flavours that invites us to explore and discover with every sip.
