Cooking clay

Term (also cooking flavour or "cooked") for a wine defect that manifests itself by a sweetish, overripe smell and taste of cooked fruit or vegetables. The causing substance is called hydroxymethylfurfural. To a lesser extent, this is described by the rather positive term marmeladig. The causes can be oxidation, overripe grapes, as well as improper bottling (hot filling), mash heating or pasteurisation.
