Adjusting the pomace ratio during red wine fermentation: Effects of adding white grape pomace and juice runoff on wine flavoromics and sensory qualities
This study explored adding leftover grape pomace and juice to red wine during fermentation to improve quality, especially in rainy regions where grapes are less ripe. Researchers found that adding about 10% white grape pomace made wine taste more astringent and acidic, while removing some juice improved color. Both methods helped form more stable pigments without significantly affecting the wine’s aroma.
