lees

GBK English to Danish Other Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
Definition from winedoctor:
A heavy sediment consisting of dead yeast cells and other solid matter such as grape pulp, pips and so on. Keeping the wine on the lees, especially if they are stirred from time to time, may be beneficial to the wine, imparting extra flavour and body. Eventually, however, they must be removed. This may be achieved by racking the wine off the lees. Residual solid matter may be removed by filtration.
Example sentences:
Some wines (usually white) are left in contact with their lees to increase the complexity and enhance the structure of the finished wine. By leaving the juice to remain on top of the lees (and/or occasional stirring) after fermentation, all the dead yeast and skins, etc., can provide additional flavors, body, and richness. (Wine weekly)
We recommend racking and aerating the wine, with temporary removal of the lees. This practice has the double advantage of eliminating unpleasant odours and making it possible to continue ageing on the lees. The lees are kept separately in barrel and stirred frequently, then put back into the wine (VITIS-VEA)
During wine aging on lees, some membrane lipids of yeast lees, in contact with dissolved oxygen at low concentration, may undergo mild oxidation explaining the capacity of yeast lees to consume oxygen. (CAT.INIST)

vinbærme

Definition from Miljøstyrelsen:
GM 070 EX 2307 Vinbærme<br />Det ved den første anstikning af vinen fremkommende, i overvejende grad<br />af bærme og vinsten (kaliumhydrogentartrat og vinsyre) bestående bundfald<br />betegnes også som vinaflejring.
Example sentences:
(1) I henhold til artikel 27 i forordning (EF) nr. 1493/1999 (1) er fuldstændig udpresning af druer og presning af vinbærme forbudt for at undgå dårlig vinkvalitet, og der fastsættes derfor i samme artikel en obligatorisk destillation af presserester af vindruer og vinbærme. Da produktions- og markedsstrukturerne i vindyrkningszonen Slovenien og Slovakiet kan sikre, at målene for denne bestemmelse opfyldes, bør forpligtelsen til destillation af biprodukter fra vinfremstilling for producenterne i disse dyrkningsområder erstattes med en forpligtelse til at trække disse biprodukter tilbage under kontrol.
