Wine Quiz Answer: C. The aroma or flavor comes from malolactic fermentation or the barrel.
A wine with the taste or aroma of butter comes from the wine's contact with yeast during the primary alcoholic fermentation, the conversion of harsh acids into softer ones during the secondary malolactic fermentation, or the flavors imparted from oak barrel. New World chardonnays from California, Chile, and Australia in particular, are often described as having buttery aromas and flavors.
