Oenological Parameters | Wine A | Wine B | Wine C |
---|---|---|---|
Fermentation Days * | 14 | 12 | 13 |
Alcoholic Strength (% vol) | 11.2 ± 0.1 a | 11.3 ± 0.3 a | 11.2 ± 0.1 a |
Total Sugar (g/L) | 9.15 ± 0.13 a | 7.78 ± 0.39 b | 8.74 ± 0.43 a |
Reducing Sugar (g/L) | 7.1 ± 0.44 a | 5.49 ± 0.22 b | 5.6 ± 0.02 b |
pH (end of fermentation) | 3.03 ± 0.01 c | 3.21 ± 0.02 b | 3.28 ± 0.01 a |
Total Acids (g/L) | 9.47 ± 0.10 a | 9.08 ± 0.20 ab | 8.92 ± 0.33 b |
Note: * from the start of fermentation to when fermentation naturally terminated; when the relative density dropped to 0.990 and did not change for three consecutive days it was considered the end of fermentation; Different letters in each row indicate the significant differences in the mean at p < 0.05.
