Column: Wine Chat - HERE’S A FEW MORE WINE DESCRIPTORS
Unctuous
‘Unctuous’ may not be all that flattering if you were to use it when describing a fellow human. However, when it comes to wine, unctuous can be very appealing. Rich in texture and complexity, unctuous wines are often lush and can be quite viscous. Take for example our Late Harvest Viognier. Sticky, yellow, and sumptuous, this dessert wine is dripping with texture and viscosity.

Fleshy
‘Fleshy’ is a textural term and refers to the way a wine feels in the mouth. Fleshy wines sit heavy on the tongue and provide a chewy, meaty sensation. Often used to describe sturdy, full-bodied reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz, our Prophecy Syrah is a fleshy delight.
