Herbaceous

Intermediate Tasting & Sensory

定义

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

深入了解

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.
