Spanish term

removido

Spanish to English Other Wine / Oenology / Viticulture Cava
✓ When the ageing phase is over, the bottle is subjected to a ***removido*** process until all the sediment is totally agglomerated in the neck of the bottle, which is kept in an inverted position until its dégorgement.

Stirring? Is there a wine-specific term for this?

clarification / swirling

I'm hazarding a guess that "removido" refers to the gentle swirling motion applied at the end of clarification prior to the siphoning described here:

"After fermentation, wine undergoes natural clarification as a result of gravity which causes the leftover yeast particles from fermentation and the grape particles like seeds called lees, to settle at the bottom of the storage vessel. The wine is then siphoned or 'racked' into a new container leaving behind the lees."

=> The swirling applied to leave the lees behind.

Note low confidence level. I'll get me coat :-)
