In Depth
Structure is the skeleton of a wine — the non-fruit elements that give it shape and aging potential. A well-structured wine has firm but balanced tannins, vibrant acidity, and sufficient concentration. Structure is essential for age-worthy wines; without it, fruit fades to nothing. Think of structure as the architecture that supports complexity over time.
