I agree with you on the fact that complexity is not an necessity in quality wine. Complexity is just an part of some wines out there, winemaker seeks that complexity when he makes it and some winemakers do not. As you said, wine can have outstanding quality even without the multiple layers of flavor and aroma which evolve in the glass for hours.

This is an interesting subject that could be explored further. I’ll try to spread this question around and see what reactions I get.

Thank you for your comment! I agree with your comment to my post, but I was also curious if my readers thought that complexity was necessary in a wine for it to be considered a quality wine? Many tasting notes written say that a wine “lacks complexity”, therefore, not a quality wine.
I wanted to make the point that I feel that a wine can be of stunning quality, but complexity doesn’t even enter into the picture. Like you said, there are so many quality, simple wines that we can drink an entire bottle of and just feel satisfied. For me, these wines are satisfying, well-structured with delicious, with ripe acidity!

No, I have never been to Berlevåg. I have always wanted to visit the very North! Perhaps one day!

Complexity is what I seek in wines as well and taking that 30 minutes to sip trough one glass is an enjoyment to me. Analyzing it etc.. Tough sometimes you just want that simple ‘always good’ glass of wine. These wines are usually the ones you buy from the wine shop 2-3 at the time.

That’s why it’s great that there are producers who puts there heart out for there wine and the end result is mind blowing. Then there are producers who offer the simple, not mind blowing but drinkable everyday wine. That’s why I love the wine world.

Mvh,
Aleksi

P.S. Have you been to Berlevåg?
