Balance
Beginner Tasting & SensoryDefinition
Harmonious integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol, and fruit.
Im Detail
A balanced wine has no single element dominating. The interplay of sweetness and acidity, tannin and fruit, alcohol and body should feel seamless. Balance is the most prized quality in fine wine and a key indicator of aging potential. What constitutes balance varies by style — a Barolo's firm tannins would be unbalanced in a Beaujolais.
