Abstract

In order to characterize polyphenols in tree grape varieties, Vranec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, grapes were sampled from representative vineyards from Black River Basin at harvest time during 2017 and 2018. On average, the highest content of low-molecular mass proanthocyanidins (LMP), high-molecular mass proanthocyanidins (HMP) and anthocyanins in the year 2017 was found in the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The highest content of anthocyanins in the year 2017 and the lowest content of LMP in years 2017 and 2018 was found in Vranac grapes. The highest content of extractable anthocyanins in the skin of grape berries was found in Vranec grapes in 2017 and 2018, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. On average, the Cabernet Sauvignon wines had a higher content of total polyphenols, anthocyanins in 2017 and 2018 respectively, LMP and HMP, compared to the Merlot and Vranec wines. The results obtained are important to better understand the polyphenolic potential of Macedonian red grape varieties in Black River Basin as possibilities and perspectives for the development of tourism.
