Little is known about the content and development of pyranoanthocyanins, pigments mainly formed during red wine ageing, in commercial wines. Some of the major pyranoanthocyanins in a wide selection of 1-10years-old Spanish Tempranillo wines and also in a 29years wide-vertical series of Tempranillo wines from an individual cellar have been determined. Great variability in pyranoanthocyanin concentrations was found (range, mg/l): vitisin A, 0-10.76; pinotin A, 0-4.26; and malvidin 3-glucoside-4-vinylphenol, 0.03-1.37. Vitisin A and malvidin 3-glucoside-4-vinylphenol were already present in 1-2years-old wines, whereas pinotin A was only detectable in a few of the 1 and 2years-old wines. Vitisin A tended to decrease with wine age, while hydroxyphenyl-pyranoanthocyanins showed the reverse trend. However, the aforementioned trends were interrupted by various temporary maxima, most likely due to some “refreshment” of the oldest wines (i.e., addition of young wine), as suggested by unexpected high concentrations of malvidin 3-glucoside, in contrast to the results found in the wine vertical series. The effects of addition of young wine on aged wine pyranoanthocyanin concentrations were confirmed by wine refreshment experiments.
