Other Factors that Affect How a Wine Tastes

Last time we explored how terroir (the soil, terrain and climate) can affect how a single varietal of wine tastes. But, there are a host of other things that can also affect a single varietal’s taste, aroma and overall flavor.

Harvest

Maceration

Fermentation

Malolactic Conversion

Blending of Grapes in a Single Varietal

Aging

Serving Temperature

Serving Vessel

This is just a brief outline of some of the factors that can affect a single varietal’s flavor. But, there are even more! And we’ll explore those in future blogs. Cheers!
