I recently attended a tasting event where I tried a variety of red wines, and I noticed that some of them had a very distinct "earthy" or "woody" flavor, while others seemed fruitier and more vibrant. I understand that different grapes and winemaking processes contribute to these differences in flavor profiles, but I'm curious about the specific factors that can lead to this divergence in taste. Could someone please enlighten me on what aspects of the winemaking process or grape varietals typically result in wines with earthy/woody notes versus those with fruitier characteristics? Additionally, are there any specific terms or descriptors I should look out for when trying to identify these flavors in a wine at
Rotwein? Any insights or recommendations you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
