Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
English term or phrase: structure
Definition from thewinedoctor.com:
A tasting term. When a wine is described as having structure, the taster is referring to the tannin and acidity levels. These elements give the wine a presence in the mouth; without them wine would tend towards a flabby, fruit flavoured drink.

Example sentence(s):
  • Tannins originate from the skins of the fruit, the stems and, to a much lesser extent, oak of the barrels. They impart a ‘puckery’, astringent or sometimes bitter sensation to the wine. They also contribute to the structure and body of the wine. redwinebuzz.com
  • A better wine, then, isn’t bitter. Essentially, the tannins provide the structure for the wine to age, but a good, aged wine’s flavor isn’t overwhelmed by tannins. AgroTropical Spain
  • Pretty much all wine, irrespective of how its made, where its made or what grapes its made with, has certain things in common – it has fruit flavourings, it has acid, it has alcohol and, if is red, it has tannin. That’s it, that’s structure: Fruit, acid alcohol and Tannin. When people talk about structure they are talking about the interplay of these three things. Wine guide

Definition from Wikipedia:
Es diu que un vi és estructurat quan és sòlid i té tanins.

Example sentence(s):
  • Intens color vermell picota, amb reflexos robí. Aromes de fruites negres, conjuntament amb notes torrefactes ben integrades i un fons balsàmic. A la boca té un bon equilibri i estructura, tanins presents i de bona qualitat i un final de boca intens i llarg. - Guia de vins de Mallorca  
  • Barreja de tanins. Adaptat per vins amb un baix potencial de polifenols. Estabilització del color i acció antioxidant. Dóna estructura als vins. - CAVATAP  
  • Els tanins són fonamentals per afavorir una millor evolució del vi amb el temps i donar-li cos i estructura. - Blog Reacciona
