Wine Glossary
Definition: Palate
Tasting term used to indicate the range of sensations detected in the mouth (rather than on the nose). The wine’s palate gives you the combined effects of its components: sweetness, acidity, tannin, body, and alcohol. Various sensations in different parts of the mouth show the strength of each element, and further analysis will tell an experienced taster if the wine is balanced and well-structured or not.
