| Now tilt your nose into the glass. Depending on the wine, various scents will rise into your nostrils. We are often asked why the Chardonnay has such a strawberry air about it, and if we add aromatic enhancers. No, we don′t. The aromas are partially already in the grapes, and some develop during the fermentation process. Still others develop during the aging process. The so-called aroma molecules are flighty. Otherwise we couldn′t perceive them through the air. These are led through the sensory cells in the nose directly to the brain. There are over 10,000 smells that our noses can differentiate. But we can only recognize those smells which are familiar. Thus someone who has never smelled mango before will not recognize mango. The range of smells depends on the culture. And since every culture has its own special assortment of known smells, almost every nation has its own special range of smells. | To simplify things, we have a spread of all the scents from the Austrian range.
