Wine Glossary 'L'

All A B C D E F G H I L M N O P R S T U V Y

Lean
Thin, lacking good fruit flavours.
Lees
Sediment occurring during winemaking or bottle aging. Adds flavour and complexity to wines if left "sur lie".
Light
Wines under 10% alcohol, also wines light in body (and usually short on taste).
Lively
Wines with fresh, expressive flavours.
Loam
A soil containing a mixture of clay, silt and sand that is best for the growth of most plants. Loam is not necessarily ideal for viticulture, as it can encourage excessive growth.
Long or length
Enduring; wine's flavours linger on the palate long after swallowing.
