LAUREL: A WINE LEAF

Nov 29, 2021

Laurel is marked, above all, by aromas of the terpene family, the same ones that characterize the aromatic profile of rosemary and eucalyptus, as well as Riesling wines, Cabernet Sauvignon reds from Australia, California and Chile, and Chilean Carmenère reds.  It is also rich in eugenol, the dominant aromatic compound in cloves. In addition, it can sometimes give off aromas of vanilla and nutmeg.
