Esters: Esters are compounds of alcohol and organic acids that give flavours and bouquet to a wine.
Estery: Estery is the fruity odour developing from the slow formation of esters in the wine.
Esters
A scientific term. It relates to components in wine formed by the combination of acids and alcohol. They contribute the fruity, perfume like smell to wine. In wine the most import esther is ethyl acetate.

Esters: Naturally occurring fruity smelling compounds in wine. Many are created by yeast during fermentation and decrease as the wine ages.
Ethanol: The primary alcohol found in wine. Also called ethyl alcohol.
ESTERS
Aromatic flavor compounds which give fruits, juices and wines much of their fruitiness.
Esters. chemical compounds which create much of the bouquet and aroma in wines.
Fat. wines that are rich and full bodied are sometimes described as fat.
Esters
Chemical compound found in food and wine which is responsible for aroma and flavor.

Organic, chemical compounds resulting from the union of alcohol and acids, contributing to the nose of a wine.

Esters: Volatile, aromatic, organic compounds formed by the chemical interaction of the wine's alcohol, acids and other components during maturation. Estufa: An "oven" or heating chamber used in the estufagem process for making Madeira or Sherry.
Esters
Volatile aroma compounds formed from the reaction of alcohols and acids.
Ethanol/Ethyl alcohol
The principal alcohol produced by yeast during fermentation of grape must.

Specific flavors may be sensed, due to the highly complex mix of organic molecules such as esters and terpenes, that grape juice and wine contains. Tasters will also distinguish between flavors characteristic of a specific grape (e.g.
Machine harvesters pass through the rows of vines literally beating the individual grapes off the vines with rubber paddles, which are then collected and separated from the non-grape material for transport back to the winery.
The grapes are either harvested by hand (this is best), or with mechanical harvesters. Exposure to air should be kept to a minimum at all stages of the process.
Mechanical harvesters offer a more efficient, often cost-effective, process and are well-suited for large vineyards that lay on a flat patch of earth.
The harvest was early due to a hot spell that kicked it off and a long period warm weather followed to keep harvesters busy. The Cabernets responded by offering generous highly concentrated flavours, and high tannin levels.
Generally light in color with hue that usually is more blue-purple than red, wines made from gamay noir can be very fragrant, full of fruit and fresh, floral esters.
The very action of pouring the wine from one container to another aerates it and releases the esters and aldehydes, perhaps trapped in the bottle for years, to intoxicate your nose and palate.
The large molecule esters were enhanced, providing a broader bouquet without the normal 'intensity' of alcohol vapors. The quick aeration provided a more velvety mouthfeel that lingered longer on the tongue to release more subtle flavors.
Ethyl Acetate
Acid and alcohol combine during fermentation to produce esters, one of which is ethyl acetate. It has a sweet, vinegary smell like nail polish remover and it's considered a fault in wine.
Fruit
One of the taste components of wine. The interaction of alcohol and organic acids results in the development of fruit esters. These compounds imitate the flavours and aromas of other fruits.
By pursing ones lips and breathing through that small opening oxygen will pass over the wine and release even more esters.
