Supple

Intermediate Tasting & Sensory

Definition

Soft, smooth, and easy to drink with gentle tannins.

In Depth

Supple wines feel approachable and yielding rather than firm or grippy. The term implies quality — a supple wine is not weak, but rather its tannins are integrated and polished. Merlot, Grenache, and aged Cabernet Sauvignon often achieve suppleness. It is a desirable quality in wines meant for current enjoyment.
