Product Description
“Earthy-compost, like compost or peat, mouldy”
Certified wine flavour standard used to train professional wine tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of earthy character.
2-Methylisoborneol contaminates wine through use of grapes which have been affected by grey rot. It can also arise as a form of cork taint, caused by growth of Actinobacteria. This compound imparts an undesirable earthy / mouldy note, contributing a somewhat camphorous character to young wines.
Food grade | free from sensory impurities | extensively tested | safe to smell and taste.
