An Alsatian Sylvaner – I Love Organic Wine
I hope you haven’t allowed the ‘rituals’ of wine tasting to keep you from exploring many types of wine. Learning about and trying different types of wine can really be a lot of fun. It can be a nice way to spend an evening with friends and family sharing a bottle of wine that you just discovered.
The rituals really do serve a purpose and aren’t that hard once you understand what they are and why wine drinkers do them.
Alsace is located in eastern France and borders Germany. Although its wine-producing area is quite small, in fact the second smallest of France’s eleven wine regions, it is quite well known for distinctive wines. The overwhelming majority of Alsatian wine is white. The Sylvaner grape tends not to be highly regarded but perhaps in the right winemaker’s hands…
Observers noticed that even though the French people ate a lot of fatty foods, they still recorded low cases of heart diseases, and they discovered it is because of the red wine that formed part of their diets.
2) Smell. Again, gently swirl the glass so that the wine mixes with the air to bring out it’s full aroma. Now, stick your nose in and sniff. Breathe it in deeply. Savor it. Take some time to fully process the smells.
Again, as you gain experience you will be able to describe several layers of aroma and subtle hints of other smells, but for now just stick to the 3 basics: floral, fruity or spicy.
Don’t forget, the sense of smell is very personal. There is no right or wrong. If you think it smells fruity than it smells fruity.
3) Taste. Gently swirl the wine in the glass to aerate it allow it’s full flavor to come out. Now take a mid sized sip. Don’t swallow. Hold it it your mouth and gently draw air in over the wine in your mouth. Swirl the wine around your mouth and take time to really concentrate on what you are tasting. Are you getting a tart taste, or is it more fruity?.
The reason you want to swirl is because your tongue has taste buds all over it in the front and back. Each set of taste buds will respond to different flavors. So to get the maximum flavor you have to use all of your taste buds and that’s why you swirl.
