WHAT IS WINE COLOR?

Wine color is comprised of many different types of pigments that are present in various proportions depending on wine age, chemical composition and adopted vinification processes.

The aim of the study in “Importance of polyfunctional thiols on semi-industrial Gewürztraminer wines and the correlation to technological treatments” by Roman et al., was to examine the role of volatile thiols in the aroma of Gewürztraminer, as well as the potential use of grape skin tannin as a source of thiol precursors.

In the last three decades, we have observed a general increase in protein instability levels in white wines. This translates to much more bentonite being required to fully stabilize wines and may be due to the changing climate or to modifications in vineyard management and harvesting.
