The study aimed to evaluate during two consecutive harvest years the influence of the production system (conventional vs. organic) and cultivar on the mineral, chemical, and antioxidant composition, as well as the colorimetric properties, of grape pomaces obtained from four Vitis vinifera L. cultivars in Alentejo-Portugal. The results showed that mineral composition was significantly affected by both production system and cultivar, with organic grape pomace showing higher K and Mn contents, whereas Ca and Cu showed consistently higher content under conventional. Protein content tended to increase under organic production, while fiber and fat were overall higher in conventional, particularly in the first year. Sugars displayed strong cultivar specificity, with Arinto showing the highest concentrations (30 to 40%), and considering all cultivars, total phenolic content ranged between 4000 ando 9000 mg GAE\/100 g, while antioxidant capacity varied among cultivars and years. Colorimetric parameters were essentially influenced by cultivar and harvest year rather than production system. The PCA revealed that PC1 (44.06%) represented a gradient associated with mineral and antioxidant composition, while PC2 (21.26%) reflected minor variation in color and sugars, and the hierarchical clustering distinguished Syrah and Alicante Bouschet as the cultivars most responsive to production system, whereas Aragonez and Arinto exhibited greater compositional stability across years. Overall, the findings indicate that both cultivar and management practices (organic and conventional) influence the compositional profile of grape pomace, with organic showing a tendency to enhance K, Mn, protein, and antioxidant parameters, whereas conventional practices favored higher levels of Ca, Cu, and fiber. The results provide valuable insights for the valorization of grape pomace and the development of sustainable viticultural strategies in Mediterranean environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sci8010012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,9]],"date-time":"2026-01-09T08:09:06Z","timestamp":1767946146000},"page":"12","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of Organic and Conventional Production Systems on Mineral, Chemical, Antioxidants, and Colorimetric Composition of Grape Pomace from Different Cultivars"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Daniela","family":"Freitas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Technologies and Applied Sciences, Polytechnic Institute of Beja, Campus do IPBeja, 7800-295 Beja, Portugal"},{"name":"Earth Sciences Department, NOVA School of Sciences and Technology, Campus de Caparica, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3944-7240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Rita F.","family":"Coelho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Sciences Department, NOVA School of Sciences and Technology, Campus de Caparica, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"GeoBioTec Research Center, NOVA University of Lisbon, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4210-8867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Coelho","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Sciences Department, NOVA School of Sciences and Technology, Campus de Caparica, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"GeoBioTec Research Center, NOVA University of Lisbon, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5108-0018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Dias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Technologies and Applied Sciences, Polytechnic Institute of Beja, Campus do IPBeja, 7800-295 Beja, Portugal"},{"name":"GeoBioTec Research Center, NOVA University of Lisbon, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"MED\u2014Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development & CHANGE\u2014Global Change and Sustainability Institute, University of \u00c9vora, 7006-554 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2125-511X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga","family":"Amaral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Technologies and Applied Sciences, Polytechnic Institute of Beja, Campus do IPBeja, 7800-295 Beja, Portugal"},{"name":"GeoBioTec Research Center, NOVA University of Lisbon, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"MED\u2014Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development & CHANGE\u2014Global Change and Sustainability Institute, University of \u00c9vora, 7006-554 \u00c9vora, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8683-6217","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela","family":"Lageiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Sciences Department, NOVA School of Sciences and Technology, Campus de Caparica, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"GeoBioTec Research Center, NOVA University of Lisbon, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"INIAV, National Institute of Agricultural and Veterinary Research, 2780-157 Oeiras, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7079-9389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela","family":"Sim\u00f5es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Earth Sciences Department, NOVA School of Sciences and Technology, Campus de Caparica, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"},{"name":"GeoBioTec Research Center, NOVA University of Lisbon, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"933","DOI":"10.1111\/ijfs.14118","article-title":"Valorisation of grape pomace: An approach that is increasingly reaching its maturity\u2014A review","volume":"54","author":"Bordiga","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int.
