The increased extraction of phenolic constituents at elevated alcoholic fermentation temperatures is attributed to the increased permeability of the hypodermic cells which favours the release of anthocyanins while at the same time favouring the solubility of the remaining phenolic constituents in the wine. \u00b7 The increase in polymerized pigments appears to be more due to the increased extraction of , tannins than that of , anthocyanins as anthocyanin levels drop early in alcoholic fermentation. \u00b7 If there are not sufficient quantities of tannins at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation to bind the anthocyanins , then the polymerized pigments in the final wine will be less. \u00b7 Sulphur dioxide At the usual concentrations of sulphur dioxide and temperatures used during red winemaking , sulphur dioxide does not dramatically affect the extraction of phenolic constituents. * It has long been found that increasing levels of sulphur dioxide affected the extraction of Pinot noir at 11.8 C , but not at 21.3 C or 26.9 C (Ough and Amerine 1961). Heatherbell et al. (1996) also observed increased extraction at higher sulphur dioxide concentrations at lower alcoholic fermentation temperatures , in cryo-extraction tests. \u00b7 Beyond any influence it may have on the extraction of the phenolic components , sulphur dioxide affects the colour of the wine by the reversible discoloration of the anthocyanins (Jurd 1964). \u00b7 , has also been found that sulphur dioxide can also discolor polymerized , pigments to a lesser extent (Bakker et al. 1986)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cold extraction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 During cold extraction the must is kept at low temperatures , usually 10 to 15 C , for a few days before the start of alcoholic fermentation on the grounds that this extraction in an aqueous environment improves the colour of the wine. \u00b7 Given the influence of alcohol and temperature on the extraction of anthocyanins and , tannins, no particular improvement is expected in their extraction. * Even if cryoextraction caused an increase in , anthocyanins, it is not expected to cause an increase in the formation of the polymerized , pigments necessary to maintain color over time. \u00b7 Cooling of the Must or Grapes As , cold extraction is reported to have little influence on the phenolic content of the finished wine, cooling the must before , alcoholic fermentation may have a better effect. \u00b7 Cooling results in the rupture of , grape cells, the destruction of cell membranes and eventually the release of the contained anthocyanins . * The use of dry ice for this purpose also offers the advantage that as it freezes the , must it also protects it from oxidation Thermo-vinification Although there are many variations of the , method basically involves heating the grapes to 60 to 70 C for a short time , follows pressure , cooling and fermentation. Heat destroys the membranes of hypodermic cells by releasing anthocyanins. * Heat also disables phenol oxidase , resulting in protection against browning. As there is no alcohol when heating the grape marc, an increase in the extraction of tannins is not expected. It has indeed been reported that thermosynthesis improves colour (anthocyans) but the final phenolic content is smaller compared to classic red winemaking (Auw et al. 1996).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it was found that the winemaking techniques that positively influence the phenolic content in the final wine are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The winemaking temperature<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thermo-vinification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cooling of the must<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleeding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The addition of pectinolytic enzymes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prolonged extraction after completion of alcoholic fermentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carbonic Maceration (Winemaking in a CO2 environment)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When winemaking in a CO2 atmosphere, the whole grapes or grapes are kept in a carbon dioxide atmosphere. * In these conditions, partial fermentation occurs with the activity of the glycolytic enzymes found in , grapes (Flanzy 1935). \u00b7 After a certain period , usually one to two weeks , the grapes are pressed , the resulting juice is inoculated with selected yeasts in order to complete alcoholic fermentation. * The method is usually used to produce light , with fruity aromas of , wines intended to be consumed young. It is difficult to draw general conclusions about the influence of this technique (maceration carbonic) on the phenolic content of the wine produced as there are conflicting results depending on the variety considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Juice removal before fermentation \u2013 \u2018Blooding\u2019 \u2013 Prefermentation Juice Run off \u2013 saign\u00e9e<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* This technique, known as saign\u00e9e ,, removes the juice before alcoholic fermentation in order to increase the ratio of skins to juice. * As the anthocyanins and tannins extracted during alcoholic fermentation are found in , husks and seeds using this technique, theoretically ,, their concentration will be increased in the final wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pectinolytic Enzymes.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Pectinolytic enzymes were used to optimise the colour of the wine as they deconstruct the cell walls of , skins by releasing the pigments present. \u00b7 The purity of the preparation used is crucial as if , beta-glucosidases are present, the anthocyanins may be converted into less stable non-glycosylated molecules resulting in colour loss. The use of enzymes generally increases the amount of finished juice. There are many tasks that result in the increase of the final color with the use of these enzymes (Ducruet et al. 1997).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking the Pump-Overs and Punch-Downs Hat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 During red , winemaking, the release of CO2 pushes the solid components of , must to the top of the , fermentation tank causing the hat to form. The formation of the hat exerts a negative influence in two ways. Increase the temperature and at the same time reduce the contact of the juice with the husks. To reverse the conditions formed by the formation of the hat, we recycle the juice with the marc several times a day. We achieve this either by pressing down on the hat or by spraying the juice over the hat with the help of a pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extraction time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technique by which the extraction time is lengthened prolongs the contact of the juice with the husks after the alcoholic fermentation has been completed. It is based on the extraction properties of anthocyanins and tannins and is expected to increase the content of tannins rather than anthocyanins. It is generally argued that this increases the extraction of tannins from the skins and seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selection of Yeast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The possibility that the phenolic content of the red wines was influenced by the choice of the dough attracted considerable interest. It was found that wine lees can absorb anthocyanins (VasEffect serot et al. 1997, Morata et al. 2003). The interaction of tannins and manoproteins from different yeasts was also examined. It was found that the addition of manoproteins from a specific yeast resulted in a greater concentration of anthocyanins \u2013 tannins affecting the taste characteristics of the wine (Escot et al. 2001).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it was found that the winemaking techniques that positively influence the phenolic content in the final wine are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The winemaking temperature<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thermo-vinification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cooling of the must<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleeding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The addition of pectinolytic enzymes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prolonged extraction after completion of alcoholic fermentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Sulphur dioxide and cryoextraction cause a slight increase in ,, but this increase is not sustained over time. Whilst fermentation in a CO2 , environment, the choice of yeast and the practices used to recycle the must have varying effects on the phenolic content, which depend mainly on the variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.torosidis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/\u039b\u03b7\u03bc\u03bd\u03b9\u03cc-\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ae-\u03c4\u03c1\u03cd\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2-2025-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.torosidis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/\u039b\u03b7\u03bc\u03bd\u03b9\u03cc-\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ae-\u03c4\u03c1\u03cd\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2-2025-scaled-1-771x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Limnio grape | Harvest 2025 | Organic Vineyard | TOROSIDIS WINE\" class=\"wp-image-7856\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4\/3;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.torosidis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/\u039b\u03b7\u03bc\u03bd\u03b9\u03cc-\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ae-\u03c4\u03c1\u03cd\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2-2025-scaled-1-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/www.torosidis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/\u039b\u03b7\u03bc\u03bd\u03b9\u03cc-\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ae-\u03c4\u03c1\u03cd\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2-2025-scaled-1-600x797.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.torosidis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/\u039b\u03b7\u03bc\u03bd\u03b9\u03cc-\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ae-\u03c4\u03c1\u03cd\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2-2025-scaled-1-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.torosidis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/\u039b\u03b7\u03bc\u03bd\u03b9\u03cc-\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ae-\u03c4\u03c1\u03cd\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2-2025-scaled-1-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.torosidis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/\u039b\u03b7\u03bc\u03bd\u03b9\u03cc-\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ae-\u03c4\u03c1\u03cd\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2-2025-scaled-1-1157x1536.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/www.torosidis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/\u039b\u03b7\u03bc\u03bd\u03b9\u03cc-\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ae-\u03c4\u03c1\u03cd\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2-2025-scaled-1-1543x2048.jpg 1543w, https:\/\/www.torosidis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/\u039b\u03b7\u03bc\u03bd\u03b9\u03cc-\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c5\u03bb\u03ae-\u03c4\u03c1\u03cd\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2-2025-scaled-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Karna L.
