It has a great balance with good vinosity.

The wines of this village often show great varietal character, good vinosity and fine balance.

A wholistic term refering to the combination of the wine's style, balance and vinosity.

It has excellent length and vinosity.

The style of the Chardonnay is super-ripe tropical fruit flavours in a matrix of high vinosity, leesy complexity and toasty oak.

In red wine it relates to a pronouced tannin taste without balance; it also refers to a white wine that is high in acid and lacks vinosity.

Fragrantly fresh with a lively berry fruit character, Sancerre rosé is made from a pinot noir grape which lends delicate flavour to the wine whose stylish vinosity and dry finish make for a terrific bottle for summer dining.

Like those of neighbouring Bouzy, they possess qualities somewhere between the solid, full-bodied and strongly perfumed Verzenay and the smooth, exceptionally aromatic Aÿ but their great strength and vinosity edges them closer to the former than the latter.

If, before lighting the fire under the Guy, you like the idea of playing the patriotic card, you might give Sainsbury's 2007 Taste the Difference English Sparkling Brut, £19.99, a whirl for its vinosity and tangy Anglo-Saxon freshness.

Ludes wines are welcomed for their use in blending of cuvées, they have the body and vinosity of a true Montagne wine, but I have yet to be convinced that a single growth Ludes can be a complete wine on its own.
