yeasty

Description for the smell and taste of a wine in the context of a wine address. In a positive sense, this certifies that the wine has a pleasant yeast note and a fresh, tangy taste, as is deliberately brought about during a yeast sediment storage. A yeast tone is typical for young Riesling wines from the French Alsace and for wines from the Loire region Muscadet. In sparkling wines such as champagne and sparkling wine, a fine yeasty note is naturally the rule or a desired effect. In a negative sense, this can be due to an undesirable second fermentation in the bottle and is then also called "beery". In this regard, see also under wine faults.

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.
