Marketing - Food & Dairy / Brochures for a fruit growers products | | French term or phrase: ardence | This is an ongoing project translating marketing materials for a fruit grower. They are referring to a line of new fruit liqueurs and syrups in the manner of a wine-tasting description. Here is the sentence:
En bouche: Qui mêle ***ardence*** et moelleux. Grande intensité, une boisson pour initier.
Unless it is a variant of ardent/ardeur, I am not sure what it is exactly (and none of my resources, including Petit Larousse have it).
Any suggestions?

| | | sharpness | Explanation:
La légère amertume et l’ardence de cette huile contribuent à sa puissance gustative. Ces deux attributs positifs (amer et piquant = présence d’antioxydants naturels) s’estompent au fil du temps mais assurent la bonne conservation de ce précieux liquide. http://www.chateauvirant.com/Commander/FichesTechniquesProdu...

| Note from asker to answererAll the answers would have worked but I defer to writeaway's expertise in this particular case. I also thought of vibrance, so I think Anna's suggestion of vivd was good too and perhaps should be in the glossary; Rachel is right also but the word intensity also appears in the immediate text so I think they had something else in mind. I also liked fiery so I am putting that in the glossary too. You are all wonderful to help me with this and I am grateful to every one who responded.

it's one of those new made up words but fervently does not seem to fit very well for wine.
