acidic

Description (also acid-rich, acid-dominant, acid-bite) for a wine in the context of a wine evaluation or wine address. Such wines, which are usually vinified dry, are characterised by a high acidity content that shapes the overall impression. Depending on the type, intensity and interaction with the other components, this can be judged positively or negatively. It is important that the acidity is harmoniously integrated with the alcohol, residual sugar, fruit and - especially in white wines - carbon dioxide and is not aggressive (acrid) or unpleasantly sharp. A well-integrated acidity conveys freshness and structural tension.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
