The comparative form of 'fruity,' meaning more fruity in taste, smell, or quality; more richly flavored like fruit.
From 'fruit' plus '-y' (adjective suffix) plus '-er' (comparative). The '-y' suffix creates descriptive adjectives from nouns, and '-er' indicates comparison of two things.
Wine experts use 'fruitier' constantly, and it's fascinating that wines from cooler climates are often fruitier than those from hot regions—the opposite of what you'd expect. It's because cooler ripening preserves delicate fruit flavors rather than cooking them away.
