Wine glossary Oenology 1 min read

To pass the wine from one vessel to another, leaving the coarse lees behind.

Racking cleans. The wine is moved and the grounds are left. It also airs a little, according to how it is done.

It is a gesture of old and present cellars. Without haste, without theatre.

The house

From the term to the glass.

The glossary is better understood in Jumilla, with a winemaker and the full range.

Index

Lees: Grounds of dead yeasts. In ageing they give volume if they are worked.
Oenology: The science and craft of making wine: from must to bottle.
Bottling: The wine enters the bottle. Another ageing begins, slower and darker.
Winemaker: Whoever decides the making and, in many houses, guides the tasting.
