| Abstract:
Experimental wines of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon clones, known to be free from harmful viruses, from a clonal evaluation block near Stellenbosch, South Africa were assessed by descriptive analysis by an experienced sensory panel. Five aroma terms, identified in previous tastings as the most appropriate to describe the wines, were used. The judges were able to perceive differences in aroma between the clones and it proved to be a successful method for the standardization of aroma terminology used in the evaluation of clonal wines. | |
