Managing Color and Phenolics in Red Wines

Responsible for color, mouthfeel, texture, stability, longevity and aromas, phenolic compounds are essential parameters to manage for wine quality.

Phenolic compounds are naturally present in various forms depending on grape varieties, maturation conditions, winemaking processes and wine aging conditions.

This webinar will focus on red wine phenolic structure and color stability. Together we will discuss winemaking tools and practices to protect your own phenolic compounds and improve wine structure and color stability. Topics covered:
– Chemistry of color stability
– Why use sacrificial tannins?
– How to optimize phenolic extraction in the winemaking process
– Proactive color stabilization
– Improve wine ageing potential
