salty

One of the six taste sensations (in addition to bitter, fatty, sour, sweet and umami) that is mainly perceived in the front edge of the tongue. However, this flavour sensation also depends on the temperature of the wine and is intensified at low temperatures. In terms of quantity, the most important substances with a salty flavour in wine are the inorganic minerals potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium. These inorganic substances are absorbed by the vine and play an important role in plant growth during photosynthesis.
