peer agreement (net): +6aging on lees Explanation: ...or lees aging "Lees aging is a wine word used to describe a stage in a wine’s maturation phase. Do you know what it means? Lees are the dead yeast cells and other particles remaining in a wine after fermentation. They settle as sediment or creamy mud at the bottom of the fermenting container...Red wines are usually racked off their lees earlier than white wines (though not always). It is a common practice to deliberately leave many white wines in contact with the lees for an extended period of time after fermentation. This is called lees aging." https://www.thekitchn.com/wine-words-lees-aging-179813 "Aging on lees (AOL) involves the use of yeast lees that have fermented the wine, or have been exogenously produced to improve the sensory profile of wines. AOL improves astringency by softening tannins; it also increases structure because of yeast polysaccharides release. " https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B978012814... |
