We all relish the colours of

spring after a drab winter,

and this helps explain why

we find floral scents and

wines so uplifting. Apple and

citrus blossom are common

notes in young Rieslings and

champagne, while elderflower

often denotes a Sauvignon.

Floral aromas associated with

reds can be harder to discern

but are alluring, like a subtle

note in a perfume. Rose and

violet can be found in fragrant

reds such as Sangiovese, Pinot

Noir and Malbec, while there

might be hints of lavender

in Rhône varieties. Like a

complex fragrance, wine offers

a rich tapestry of aromas.

Winemakers and perfumers

are alchemists. They decide

what the end product should

be and use their skills to get

there. For example, does a

wine need an oak influence

to give it a specific flavour or

aroma? Perfumers have similar

processes to enhance scents.
