👉 Light Particles in Wine refer to the small, delicate grape components that contribute significantly to the wine's overall character and complexity without overwhelming the palate. These particles are primarily composed of grape skins, seeds, and stems, which release their aromatic compounds—such as esters, terpenes, and phenolics—when the wine is consumed or when it undergoes gentle processing like micro-oxygenation. The result is a subtle, almost ethereal presence in the wine, often described as floral, citrusy, or herbal. This light particle effect enhances the wine's freshness, aroma, and overall lightness, making it ideal for those who prefer wines with a delicate, nuanced profile that doesn't overpower the senses.
