Catalan term

dóna molta tensió a la boca

Catalan to English Other Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
peres, albercocs i préssecs estan suspeses sobre una acidesa constant, marcada que "dóna molta tensió a la boca" i llença la fruita amb profunditat, cap a un final de boca estricte, elèctric, fresc i lleugerament amarg.

The effect of the acidity on the palate or inside the mouth almost makes you puck your lips. I'm assuming that they mean sth. like that!

Cheers!

with excellent tension

I think you may be able to leave out the "a la boca" here.

A few examples from the more than 700,000 hits for "with excellent tension"+ wine:


"Linear and focussed, citrus fruit and green melons remain tight and poised with excellent tension and lively acidity."

http://www.crackawines.com.au/Rosemount_Estate/Rosemount_Est...


"Angular and faceted in the mouth with excellent tension."

http://www.snooth.com/articles/7-great-wines-from-la-follett...


"The wine possesses a lovely, sapid, stony line of acidity with excellent tension and a sleek shape across the palate with just a touch of baby fat. A real charmer and great value for money."

Or perhaps "provides excellent tension," along the lines of these examples:

"Unctuous in texture, the acidity is lively and provides excellent tension and line, leading to a very long, delicately nuanced finish of honey and toast."

“Very fine, firm and tightly bound on palate, there are very focussed and concentrated flavours of dark red berry fruit flavours supported by significant tannins, very fine-grained and forming a very long line. The acidity provides excellent tension. Still very closed, this will need time to release its full perfumes and richness.”
