adds freshness

Rather than "refreshes"... it adds freshness to the blend of flavours.

Pale and delicate in colour but with fresh and intensely fruity aromas and flavours. Hints of apple, peach and herbaceousness lend this wine its intriguingly refreshing character.

possibly not quite *exactly* what "rafraîchit" means in the dictionary, but it goes well with "vivacité", IMHO.
Plus you're allowed some licence with this kind of stuff.

(I also have a minor niggle with 'refresh' since I always equate that with 'cool and thirst quenching' and I'm not sure that goes with wine. But that could just be me, of course!! )
