Various methods were evaluated in the production of Hicaz' pomegranate wine by microvinification. The chemical, phenolic and antioxidant characteristics of the wines were assessed by measurement of water-soluble dry matter, acidity, density, alcohol content, volatile acidity, total monomeric anthocyanins, polarized colour intensity and individual phenolic compounds. Three different methods - classical maceration (N), seed-supplemented maceration (S) and seed + enzyme supplemented maceration (E) - were applied. Total phenolic compounds of pomegranate must and wines (after 18 months of storage) were 1897 mg/L (must), 1663 mg/L (N), 1339 mg/L (E) and 1414 mg/L (S). Phenolic compounds in pomegranate must and wines included gallic acid, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, hydroxycinnamic acid, epicatechin and catechin. Total antioxidant capacities (Trolox equivalents) of pomegranate must and wines (N, E and S) were 9.9 mm/L (must), 9.8 mm/L (N), 9.7 mm/L (E) and 9.5 mm/L (S).
