Herbaceous

Intermediate Tasting & Sensory

परिभाषा

Green, plant-like aromas such as grass, herbs, or bell pepper.

गहराई से

Herbaceous character comes from methoxypyrazine compounds, most concentrated in Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Carmenère. At moderate levels, herbal notes add complexity (thyme, sage, dried herbs). Excessive green character (green bell pepper, jalapeño) suggests underripe grapes and is generally considered a flaw in red wines.
