Lecture 6: Overview of Red Wine Processing
Reading Assignment: Chapter 5, pages 221-243
The Basic Steps of Red Wine Production • Crushing, destemming • Must to tank • Fermentation/Maceration • Pressing and Draining • Finish of Fermentation
Red Wine ProductionTypes of Fermentation Grapes Juice Must Whole Cluster Blush No Stems + Stems Atmosphere Wine CO2 Juice
Principle Red Wine Varieties in California (% production) • Zinfandel 23% • Cabernet Sauvignon 20% • Merlot 18.3% • Barbera 0.6% • Grenache 0.6% • Rubired 0.5% • Pinot noir 0.5% • Carignane 0.4%
Red Wine: Fermentation on the Skins • To extract pigments and other phenolic compounds in grape skin cells • Use of ethanol of fermentation to increase extraction • Use of cap management strategies to increase extraction
Methods of Cap Management • Rotary tank • Punch down • Pump over
Submersion A variation of the punch down technique is total submersion of the cap.
Pumping Over The process of using fermenting juice from the bottom of the tank to bathe the cap of skins and seeds that forms on the top of the tank exposing the cap to the ethanol of fermentation
Pumping Over Hose Sprinkler Cap Pump Wine Racking valve
Extraction of Skin Components Max A B [cmpd] Time
Extraction Affected By: • pH • Temperature • Length of time • Maceration • Ethanol concentration • Total amount in skin cells • Enzyme treatments • SO2
Techniques for manipulation of red must composition • Maceration
Maceration • Pre-fermentation maceration • Temperature • Length of time • Number of pump overs/day • Type of pump over • Spray • Punch down • Rotary tank • Ethanol at time of pressing
Maceration • Post-fermentation maceration • As CO2 bubbles, which provided buoyancy to the cap, dissipate, the cap sinks • Maceration can continue for one to four weeks after cap settling • Also aging on yeast lees
Thermoflash maceration • New technique for rapid heating/cooling of must • Use vacuum for rapid cooling • Combination destroys plant cell walls and permeability barrier • Greatly increases extraction
Techniques for manipulation of red must composition • Maceration • Temperature of Fermentation
Techniques for manipulation of red must composition • Maceration • Temperature of Fermentation • Pressing Conditions
Techniques for manipulation of red must composition • Maceration • Temperature of Fermentation • Pressing Conditions • Thermovinification
Thermovinification • Hold must at high temperature (60-80ºC) for a short (seconds) period of time • Grapes: Steam treatment so surface reaches 75ºC, pulp no more than 30ºC.
Consequences of Thermovinification • Heat denaturation of enzymes (PPO) • Increase color extraction • Increase Phenolics • Increase stability of “purple dimer” • Alters microbial flora • Easier to press • Characteristic flavor changes
Flavor Changes of Thermovinification • Fruit characters intense but less complex • Increase vegginess (may be too intense once fruit disappears) • Hydrolyze terpene glycosides to free terpenes • Aging/Chemical reactions occur
Red Wine Color • Due to anthocyanins • Anthocyanins can be glycosylated • Anthocyanins can be acylated or have another type of molecule attached to first sugar • Acylated pigments less sensitive to bleaching and oxidative loss • Extracted at different rates
Anthocyanins R OH + HO O R’ O-Gluc OH
Anthocyanins Delphinidin: R=OH; R’=OH Cyanidin: R=OH; R’=H Peonidin: R=OCH3; R’=H Malvidin: R=OCH3; R’=OCH3 Petunidin: R=OCH3; R’=OH Pelargonidin: R=H; R’=H
Factors Affecting Must Color • Variety • SO2: flavene sulfonate is colorless • pH • Protonated form = red • Quinoidal base = blue • H-bonding between protonated form and quinoidal base = purple • Co-pigmentation

Co-Pigmentation Refers to the observation that color does not appear to be a linear factor upon dilution – absorbance decreases faster than can be accounted for by simple dilution.
