Glossary of Special Terms Lees: Sediment composed of dead yeast cells and other particles remaining in wine after fermentation. Red wine is transferred off this sediment. Some white wines are left on their lees (sur lie) to add flavor and complexity. Maceration: Refers to period during which the must or wine remains in contact with the grape skins. Alcohol acts as a solvent, extracting color, tannin and aroma from the skins. Malic Acid: Component of wine. Accounts for green and sour taste of wine made from unripe grapes. See “malolactic fermentation.” Malolactic fermentation: Conversion by bacteria (not yeast) of malic acid into lactic acid. Softens wine and reduces overall acidity. A process now applied to all red wines, but not all white wines. Must: Freshly crushed grape juice (with or without skins), pre-fermentation. Table Wines: Non-sparkling wines with at least 11.5% alcohol by volume, which are traditionally consumed with food. Vinífera: Of, relating to or being derived from premium grapes used in wine making. Viniculture/Viticulture: The cultivation of grapes.
