RED WINE MACERATIONS ©Copyright 2013 All Rights Reserved Grape supply and management is the single most important step of winemaking, both in terms of quality and cost. Are you getting the most and the best out of your fruit?
THE REALITY ©Copyright 2013 All Rights Reserved The single most important fact to remember is that red wine macerations are only PARTIAL extractions. Anthocyanins: 20% -50% Tannins: 5% - 40% Total Phenolics: 20% - 50%

WHAT’S THE REASON? Needs technologically advanced instrumentation; costly. Requires highly skilled laboratory personnel. Time consuming. Not timely for production environment. Rather removed from sensory assessments. Cannot preferentially extract individual compounds during maceration. Works best for fundamental research & development of applied technologies. ©Copyright 2013 All Rights Reserved
WHAT WE DO MEASURE Pigments – Free and Total Anthocyanins: basis of color perception and key structural ingredients. Bound Anthocyanins: Anthocyanins linked to tannins that form stable color and add textural qualities. Tannins: structural building blocks, major sensory effects – very important to wine style and ageability. Total (Iron-Reactive) Phenolics: amount of all phenolic compounds in the wine; useful when comparing maceration protocols or blends. ©Copyright 2013 All Rights Reserved

CONCLUSIONS Coffee, tea, wine or beer: they are all partial extractions. Vineyard performance can be measured by phenolic measurements rapidly and accurately. Differences in maceration profiles suggest what you do as a winemaker, greatly affects the final phenolic content of your wines. Evaluate maceration protocols: is it time, temperature, alcohol or movement? Knowledge of tannins and total phenolics amounts very useful in drain decision. Some basic ratios and general knowledge of relative amounts of phenolic materials (per variety and region) offer powerful insights into initial grape and wine quality. ©Copyright 2013 All Rights Reserved
