So, about those grapes!<\/span><\/h3>\n

Grapes are actually classified as a berry<\/em><\/span><\/strong>. They are berry cool<\/em>.
\n(shout out to Strawberry Shortcake, yo!)<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s so interesting about grapes is that only taste like grapes if they are eaten fresh or squeezed into (unfermented) grape juice at just the right time, with few exceptions. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Fermented grapes seldom\u00a0taste likes grapes <\/strong>(among those few exceptions\u00a0are\u00a0Muscat, Niagara, and Concord). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Instead, once grapes are\u00a0wine <\/em>they\u00a0taste like a whole variety of fruits and other things.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The chemical compounds in fermented grapes are even more complex than blood serum and taste far better (unless you’re a vampire).\"2854238804_a8b92961e9_z\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Wine takes on characteristics of many different sorts of fruits, depending on the variety and where they have been cultivated. Additional taste notes happen during\u00a0fermenting, refining, filtering, aging, and so on, done by the vintner (wine-maker).<\/p>\n

Here’s a very short list of the\u00a0many\u00a0fruit notes <\/strong>(subtle tastes) that fermented grapes can offer in both sweet and dry <\/strong>(non sweet) types of wine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Citrus Fruits:<\/p>\n

lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, etc…<\/p>\n

Pome\u00a0Fruits:<\/p>\n

Apple, pear, quince, etc….<\/p>\n

Stone Fruits:<\/p>\n

Peach, plum, apricot, etc….<\/p>\n

Tropical Fruits:<\/p>\n

Mango, pineapple, star fruit, passion fuit, papaya, etc….<\/p>\n

Seed Fruits:<\/p>\n

Pomegranate, persimmons, etc….<\/p>\n

Berries:<\/p>\n

Strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, cranberry, blueberry, etc…<\/p>\n

Wine takes on other qualities too, such as vegetal notes, herbal notes, mineral notes, and many more.<\/p>\n

Never underestimate the grape!<\/strong><\/p>\n
