The object of the present work has been the study of the changes produced in the main organic acids in Cayetana and Pardina white grapes during their maturation. We noticed a continuous decrease of malic and discontinuous fluctuations of tartaric acid. The temperature presents a determining influence on the decrease of both acids. The decomposition rate for malic acid (1,53) is 3 times with respect to that of tartaric acid (0,46). The tartaric acid/malic acid ratio is quite steady during the veraison (1,33 +- 0,02) but very different at maturation (3,09 +- 0,90)
