bready

Here's what the SO has for your term. "som har en smak och doft som kan på­minna om bröd särsk. (i fråga) om vin och öl" ( https://svenska.se/so/?sok=brödig&pz=6 )

A search of "bready" + "wine" gets quite a few hits like this one:
"Lees aging:

This is an optional step where wine ages on the dead yeast cells that have resulted from primary fermentation. Wines that have undergone lees aging may show **bready,** brioche, or toasty flavors or aromas." And:

"Traditional method (of making sparkling wine):

After still wine goes through a primary fermentation, a secondary fermentation is often conducted to produce the sparkle in the wine. With the traditional method, wines are given additional yeast, sugar, and yeast nutrients and the second fermentation and lees aging is conducted within the bottle. This results in wines with more integrated bubbles and added complexity, thanks to the **bready** notes."

Which is, naturally, "like bread." But it seems the aficionados use my suggestion.

like bread

When something smells like freshly baked bread.
It can also be a slight hint of yeast.
Example sentence:

Still it gives away a slightly bread like smell with clear associations to champange.

Peer comment(s):

agree Adrian MM. : with : like freshly baked bread. Cut to the nostalgic whiff of Madeleine cakes in Marcel Proust's novel of 'A la recherche du temps perdu' cf. tweaking your version: still it gives off a slightly bread-like whiff having clear associations with champagne.
