Pyrazines

Molecular compounds in certain wines that give them a distinct green character. Pyrazines are found in high concentrations in the skins of sauvignon blanc, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc grapes. When these grapes do not get fully ripe, the pyrazine aroma and flavor is highly apparent.
