Column: Wine Chat - MORE WINE TERMS TO TANTALISE
Jammy:
One of modern wine jargon’s trendier terms, ‘jammy’ usually refers to a lighter, more quaffable wine. As you would expect, jammy wines tend to be reminiscent of ripe fruit. Where might you be able to apply this term? Cabernet Francs, Zinfandels are commonly referred to as ‘jammy’, alongside our very own Wild Ferment Garnacha; a light, fruity red with a spicy surprise.
Cassis:
The term ‘Cassis’ actually refers to a type of liqueur known as Creme de Cassis, made from blackcurrants. When used in relation to wine, ‘Cassis’ usually alludes to the seedy, gritty characteristics that you would expect to find in an actual blackcurrant. Deep garnet in colour, our sumptuous Provenance Merlot combines dark berry aromas with grippy cassis and black cherry palate.
Opulent:
In much the same way that you might describe a 17th century palace like Versailles as ‘opulent’, you could describe a wine. Abundant, luxurious, and glorious to behold, these wines are understandably, hard to resist. Big, bold, and delicious.
