This type of wine has a low amount of tannins, the polyphenols that give the drink an astringency that often “binds the mouth”. “Salivation is stimulated by this dominant acidity in the drink, which comes from the grape fermentation process. There are some that naturally have a marked acidity, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Verdejo and Torrontés”, explains Sandro Martins, commercial manager of the importer Wine to You.
