m is the maximum sugar consumption rate, l is the fermentation lag phase duration, and t50, t90 are the times employed to consume 50% and 90% of the sugars present in the must. These values were obtained after adjustment to Gompertz equation of three biological replicates. Values are a mean of the three biological replicates followed by their standard deviation. Different superindexes in the same row and belonging to the same temperature are significantly different according to the Tukey HSD test (α = 0.05).
