Editorial Illustration – Wine Enthusiast Magazine (aroma/flavor)
An illustration I created for a spread for the current issue of Wine Enthusiast magazine, article by Stacy Briscoe.
The illustration is a visual representation of the aroma and flavour profile of Pinot Noir. The article breaks down the primary, secondary and tertiary aroma/flavour characteristics. The primary characteristics come from the grape itself and include red fruits, black fruits, flowers and earth. Pinot Noir’s secondary characteristics come from decisions made at the winemaking stage – the fermentation process creates the black tea and vanilla characteristics, and the toasted wood flavour is created by using old wood vessels. The tertiary characteristics derive through maturation to create the damp forest floor, mushroom, and potpourri characteristics.
It was so interesting to learn about the history and winemaking techniques used at every stage and the similarities to perfume/scent profiles.
