Minerality, what are we talking about?
The most difficult concepts are the most debated. Among them, in oenology, there is one that occupies a special place: minerality. If there is not yet scientific explanations behind this word, it is often used in tasting comments. Most of the time associated to “flint”, “stone”, sometimes linked with “freshness”, “liveliness”, the notion of “minerality” is always positive.
