One of the tartest red fruits, raspberry has a distinctive flavour and aroma that’s relished in desserts and confectionery. Given these characteristics, it’s more commonly detected as a primary aroma in ripe and fruit-forward red wines with medium to high acidity.
Strawberry
A perfectly ripe plucked strawberry offers the quintessence of flavor. And what a flavor! Juicy. Tangy. Fresh. While perhaps not equal to the pleasure of summer foraging, finding notes of strawberry in wine yields delight in good measure.
Cherry
Fruit flavors in red wines typically fall into two different categories: red fruit and black fruit flavors. Cherry flavour falls into the red fruit categories but the cherry flavours span from red to black, and fresh to sweet. Confusing! Red Cherries can typically be found in young Grenache. Black Cherries are found in mature Pinot Noir.
Secondary flavors
Floral
Floral notes bloom delicately—a fragrant symphony of blossoms such as white blossom or orange blossom. Their ethereal presence adds a nuanced elegance, uplifting the palate for an aromatic taste.
Red Apple
Red apple is a common fruit flavour in wine which gives the wine a creamy taste and a moutfeel of apple-like scents. Red apple flavour is sweeter than green apple flavour.
