What is a mineral wine?
"Mineral" is one of the hardest wine terms to define. There is no accepted definition of minerality in wine, no complete consensus on the characteristics that are associated with it, nor even whether it is perceived primarily as a smell, a taste or a mouthfeel sensation. However, the wines that are typically being described as mineral are also generally described as ‘elegant’, ‘lean’, ‘pure’ and ‘acidic’. They have a taste as if of licking wet stones and often a chalky texture to match. Some argue that it only applies to white wines, but anyone who has tasted a Priorat from the area’s llicorella (slate) soils will know it also occurs in reds. This week's selection of reds features wines from the Old World and shows some great examples of mineral red varietals and styles. Cheers!
