Acid house.

Διαβάζω: There are five principal elements to look for in the taste of wine: Dryness/Sweetness, Acidity, Tannin, Oak, Fruit.

Acidity: There are many different types of acid in wine, the most important being tartaric, which is present in unfermented grape juice. How sharp does the wine feel at the edges of the tongue? Good acidity is necessary to contribute a feeling of freshness to a young wine, and to help the best wines to age. In a poor vintage though, when the grapes didn't ripen properly, an excessive sourness or even bitterness can spoil a wine. Don't confuse dryness with acidity. A very dry wine like fino sherry can actually be low in acid, while the sweetest Sauternes will contain sufficient acidity to offset its sugar.

How sharp, λοιπόν είναι το ερώτημα. How sharp. Κι αν η γεύση στην άκρη της γλώσσας είναι κοφτερή σαν αιχμηρό Ιαπωνικό katana, τότε μάλλον η οξύτητα είναι υψηλή. Μάλλον ναι, τι να πεις...
