| N 15:42 | Ripening diffhist +3,481 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Ripening''' in viticulture refers to the final phase of grape development, beginning after véraison and culminating in harvest. It is during this period that grapes undergo significant physiological and biochemical changes, which determine their suitability for wine production. The state of ripeness at harvest has a profound influence on wine style, balance, and quality.<ref>Jackson, ''Wine Science: Principles and Applications'', 5th ed., Academic Pre...") | ||||
| N 15:35 | Notes diffhist +3,247 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Notes''' in wine refer to the descriptive terms used to characterise the aromas, flavours, and sometimes the textural sensations perceived during wine tasting. They are a central tool in the evaluation of wine, forming part of both professional assessments and informal descriptions. The term may apply to individual sensory impressions such as “citrus” or “vanilla”, or to structured tasting notes that compile these descriptors into...") | ||||

Its fine mineral particles and distinctive physical properties make it a significant component of terroir.<ref>White, ''Soils for Fine Wines'', Oxford University Press, 2003, ISBN 978-0195141023.</ref> == Background == Clay is formed from the weathering of rocks such as limestone, granite (soil)|...") | ||||
| N 15:50 | Tannat diffhist +2,980 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Tannat''' (/taˈnat/) is a red wine grape variety most closely associated with the Madiran appellation of southwest France and the vineyards of Uruguay. The name is thought to derive from the word *tanné*, reflecting the grape’s notably high tannin levels.<ref>Robinson, Harding & Vouillamoz, ''Wine Grapes'', HarperCollins, 2012, ISBN 978-0062206367.</ref> == Background == Tannat originated in the foothills of the Pyrenees, where it beca...") | ||||

Unlike simple storage, ageing is a controlled transformation that can enhance complexity, soften textures, and develop aromas, though not all wines are designed to benefit from prolonged ageing.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> == Historical context == The...") | |||

Native to North America, the pest caused one of the most severe crises in viticultural history, often referred to as the “Great Wine Blight.” Its impact and the subsequent solutions transformed global winegrowing practices.<ref>Campbell, ''Phylloxera: How Wine Was Saved for the...") | ||||
| N 13:28 | Yeast diffhist +3,285 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Yeast''' (/jiːst/) are unicellular fungi of great importance in winemaking, responsible for the alcoholic fermentation that transforms grape must into wine. The term derives from Old English ''gist'' and Proto-Germanic roots meaning "foam" or "boil", reflecting the frothing effect of fermentation. The most significant species in oenology is ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'', though other genera also contribute to fermentation under certain conditions.<...") | ||||
| N 13:24 | Acidity diffhist +3,192 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Acidity''' in wine refers to the concentration and perception of organic acids naturally present in grapes and produced during fermentation. It is a central component of wine tasting, contributing to freshness, balance, and the ageing potential of a wine.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref> == Background == The term derives from the Latin ''acidus'', meaning “sour” or...") | ||||
| N 13:06 | Raw material diffhist +3,045 Winosaur talk contribs (Created page with "'''Raw material''' in winemaking refers primarily to the grapes that form the basis of wine, but may also include additional substances used to adjust or supplement the must during vinification. Grapes provide the fermentable sugars, organic acids, water and phenolic compounds that collectively determine the balance, flavour and structure of the finished product.<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705...") | ||||
