THE EVOLUTION OF SENSORY AND CHROMATIC ATTRIBUTES OF RED WINES OBTAINED IN GALICEA MARE VITICULTURAL AREA

The red wines obtained in 2014 in the Galicea Mare wine-growing area were analyzed chromatically and organoleptically at the age of 6 months and after another two years. During the two years, chromatic characteristics and sensory evolution was positive in all wines. Although the intensity of color has decreased during this time, its nuance has improved significantly due to the change in the relationship between red and yellow pigments. The results show that these wines are intended for maturing and aging because they are not suitable for consumption as young wines.Â
