English term or phrase: structure

Definition from thewinedoctor.com:
A tasting term. When a wine is described as having structure, the taster is referring to the tannin and acidity levels. These elements give the wine a presence in the mouth; without them wine would tend towards a flabby, fruit flavoured drink.

Example sentence(s):

Tannins originate from the skins of the fruit, the stems and, to a much lesser extent, oak of the barrels. They impart a ‘puckery’, astringent or sometimes bitter sensation to the wine. They also contribute to the structure and body of the wine. redwinebuzz.com
A better wine, then, isn’t bitter. Essentially, the tannins provide the structure for the wine to age, but a good, aged wine’s flavor isn’t overwhelmed by tannins. AgroTropical Spain
Pretty much all wine, irrespective of how its made, where its made or what grapes its made with, has certain things in common – it has fruit flavourings, it has acid, it has alcohol and, if is red, it has tannin. That’s it, that’s structure: Fruit, acid alcohol and Tannin. When people talk about structure they are talking about the interplay of these three things. Wine guide

struktura

Definition from Festus:
struktura wina, termin degustacyjny określający pewną 'architekturę' wina, czyli wszystkie jego istotne składniki : alkohole (w tym glicerynę), kwasy, owocowość, garbniki itd. Samo określenie, że wino ma dobrą strukturę jest niewystarczajace. Wymaga zawsze przymiotnikowego określenia charakteru tej struktury np. nieodpowiednia, silna. Zwykle zadowalamy się stwierdzeniem, że wino jest dobrze zbudowane lub że ma dobrą strukturę.

Example sentence(s):

Ma wyraźny, mocno mineralny charakter, doskonałą równowagę, zaś wyraźna kwasowość w połączeniu z mocną strukturą wina, daje ukojenie. Ponadto wino to charakteryzuje się długim potencjałem starzenia. - Świat Alkoholi
Typowy dla tego wina jest wielowarstwowy, złożony bukiet o aromacie smoły, dzikiej róży, czarnych oliwek i rozmarynu. Wino dojrzałe o harmonijnej kwasowości i mocnych tanin. Subtelne struktury wiśni przechodzą w słodką czereśnię i delikatne ziolowo-apteczne nuty. Struktura wina nie jest potężna ale intensywna o długim finiszu. - Wineland
