So, what do you mean by mineral aromas?
Well, here at Imagine Ribera, we are very creative,
we call mineral aromas what comes from turf, or wet earth,
Or slate or dry stones…
Hem, anything that smells of the soil where the vines are grown.
But what if you have never visited the place?
Aromas are not difficult just pay more attention,
Use your memory.
I always say: “train your nose”
Oh yeah, But it must be very difficult To think of smells all the time.
Well, it’s aromas, dear, remember.
Once you get started it's a lot easier.
Give it a try and you’ll see.
OK. Let's see
I'm going to try to identify some aromas clearly.
For example, this wine reminds me of my nanny when I was six year old.
She was sweaty all the time, almost wet with perspiration.
But, Ana, that won’t work, I’m afraid.
Nobody else knows what you mean.
Your reference can't be
So obscure and private...
and that's the problem.
Yeah. Sure,
as if most people know that turf smells like.
Maybe, or maybe not.
But it's their fault if they don't,
whereas your nanny, she must have used very specific perfume.
OK, let's toast.
