A most helpful Wine Grape Profile Table - fully revised & updated!

An invaluable tasting assistant... in its 5th edition… You can download the latest PDF here from my dropbox folder.

It lists the major grape varieties and shows typical structural levels, aromatic categories, ageing potential, and possible aromas.  A practical tool for WSET students to memorise and use alongside tastings to help imprint the distinctive character of each grape.

It was built using references from the well-respected publications below, as well as with some adjustments from the experience of my wine tastings when I once prepared for the MW exam:
