“…Methods like cold soaking/maceration (McMahon et al, 1999, Gómez-Plaza et al, 2000, Álvarez et al, 2009Gil-Muñoz et al, 2009) could release more colour from grape skins, while post-fermentation maceration (Zimmer et al, 2002) could release more tannins, as the alcohol will help in releasing the tannins. Thermovinification (Lowe et al, 1976, Sacchi et al, 2005Baiano et al, 2009) and carbonic maceration (Gómez-Míguez & Heredia, 2004;Sacchi et al, 2005;Etaio et al, 2008) can also be used to extract anthocyanins and tannins from the skins. These methods will have variable success, as wines made from carbonic maceration will have a lighter colour but will be fruitier (Etaio et al, 2008).…”
