adj.
Tasting of salt, seasoned with, or containing salt.1
Often this term applies to the general mineral content of wines. Wines from many countries of the Southern Hemisphere, including Chile, Argentina, and Australia, seem to have a slightly salty/minerally taste. This taste may also be noticed in the Sherries from Manzanilla, Spain.
[…] The vine takes up the salt through its roots and deposits it in the fruit. […] the vine gobbles up the salt directly through its leaves and again deposits some of it into the grapes, and particularly the region just beneath its skin.
Salt can affect vines. […]. Some, but very few wines may taste slightly salty.4
