Flint/Flinty

Synonym for "stoney". Derived from French phrase "gout de pierre a fusil", literally a flinty taste. These terms are presumably metaphorical approximations based on the actual taste sensations allegedly experienced when stones/minerals are licked (older books on chemistry etc. always included the taste, feel and smell of the compounds being described). Presumably refers to rate of moisture absorption etc by different stone surfaces and detectable by the tongue. "Flinty" describes an initial evaluation indicating a young white wine made from cool region grapes under cold fermentation conditions. Characterized by high acidity, a tactile "mouthfeel" that is filling and yet has a flavour sensation that is cleanly "earthy".

Flinty

Dry, mineral character that comes from certain soils, mostly limestone, in which the wine was grown; typical of French Chablis and Loire Valley Sauvignon Blancs (Sancerre).

Flinty

A stone or mineral-like character often used to describe Sauvignon Blanc and French Chablis.

Flor

A yeast vital for making Sherry. It's presence on the surface of the wine protects it from oxidation, and such a wine may be bottled as a Fino or Manzanilla. When it dies, it sinks to the bottom of the barrel, and the resulting wine is an Amontillado. If no flor develops at all, the resulting wine is an Oloroso. Partial development of flor, which then dies, produces a rare style known as Palo Cortado.

FLORA

Has synonym name California H59-90. Reported to be a selected cross of Semillon x Traminer Rot created by H. Olmo for white wine production. Currently grown in California, Australia and some other countries on a limited scale. No other details as yet.

Floral

Floral/Flowery (see also Nose)

Flying winemaker

A term that sprang up in the 1980s to describe a group of winemakers, chiefly Australian, that parachuted (not literally!) into Old World regions to work with local co-operatives or vignerons to improve the quality of the wines.
