Chromatic characterization of the wines produced in the Spanish region "Alpujarra-Contraviesa"
Abstract
The chromatic characteristics of 69 samples oftraditional wines (no definite enological
technique) made from a mixture of varieties of existing grapes (more than 98% were
white varieties) in the Granadinian region of Alpujarra-Contraviesa (South of Spain) were
studied as a method of typification and determination of their quality.
The results after calculating the levels of Anthocyanins, Polyphenols, the CIE
(1961) chromatic parameters, the Glories indices (1984) and the CIELAB space (1976)}
indicate that the wines studied carne from musts which had spent very little time in
contact with the solid matter of the grape. The very wide dispersion margins were
consistent with their home-made character and, according to the majority of colour
indices, they are c10ser to rose wines.
