Understanding wine acidity
Freshness on the palate helps you read a wine’s balance.
01
Acidity makes your mouth water: notice that feeling after swallowing.
02
A vivid wine can still be balanced when fruit, texture or sweetness meet its acidity.
03
Compare two wines from the same grape at a similar temperature to feel the difference.
04
Compare water, a softer wine and a brisk wine: acidity often shows through salivation after swallowing. High acidity can remain balanced with fruit, texture or sweetness.
