Description
Summary:•Maceration enzymes labelled as pigment extractors, mainly increased tannins contents.•Cold maceration increased mainly hydrosoluble and yeast derived wine phenols.•Enological tannins may increase wine phenolic contents not expected to be increased.•Rich flavanols wines had very low contents of them at low molecular weight level.•Tannat wines had much higher caftaric acid than reported for other grape varieties. Low molecular weight phenols of Tannat red wines produced by Traditional Maceration (TM), Prefermentative Cold Maceration (PCM), Maceration Enzyme (ENZ) and grape-Seed Tannins additions (ST), were performed and discussed. Alternatives to TM increased wine phenolic contents but unequally, ST increased mainly smaller flavans-3-ol, PCM anthocyanins and ENZ proanthocyanidins (up to 2250mg/L). However low molecular weight flavan-3-ols remained below 9mg/L in all wines, showing that there is not necessarily a correspondence between wine richness in total tannins and flavan-3-ols contents at low molecular weight. PCM wines had particularly high concentrations of tyrosol and tryptophol, yeast metabolism derived compounds. The use of grape-seed enological tannins did not increase grape seed derived phenolic compounds such as gallic acid. Caftaric acid was found in concentrations much higher than those reported in other grape varieties. Wine phenolic content and composition was considerably affected by the winemaking procedures tested.
