The wine finish refers to the taste that lingers after tasting a wine.
Finish is an important aspect that reveals the depth, complexity and quality of a wine. The finish can vary greatly, being short or long, simple or complex and smooth or harsh. Factors such as the type of grape, the terroir, winemaking techniques, alcohol content, tannins, sweetness and acidity all play a part in shaping the finish.
A short finish may indicate a less complex wine, while a long or complex finish often signifies a high-quality, well-balanced wine. Understanding the finish can greatly elevate the wine tasting experience, allowing you to appreciate the nuances and characteristics of different wines.
