[José Elarba]: Chardonnay wine

In order to start knowing how to identify the flavors contained in wine, you should analyze the following aspects: in case you ever have the opportunity to taste a fresh Chardonnay grape, you will immediately notice how different that kind of grape is compared to a Chardonnay wine. This fresh grape feels more like a white table grape that we commonly relate to the apple, lemon, and butter flavors in Chardonnay wine.

Having said that, let's see the different flavors you will find in red and white wines:

First of all, you should know that the most evident flavors you will identify in any wine you taste are the fruit flavors. In case of red wine, fruit flavors typically are presented into two different categories: red fruit and black fruit flavors. Developing the capacity of differentiating the two types will help you identifying your favorite wines.

In case you taste a red blend, you can identify both red and black fruit flavors. In doing so, you literally will be picking out the different wines used to create that blend. In fact, some experts in this topic can even isolate the flavors in their mouth and, even more, they can even make an estimate as to what the blend contains.

White wines also offer different characteristics and flavors you can start identify. White wines have two major fruit types: tree-fruits and citrus fruits. What's important in these cases is that the same type of wine can vary wildly depending on where it has been grown. Aspects such as climate have a lot to do here.
