Sur Lie Aging
Definition
Lees
Sur lie' wines are bottled without racking, which filters the wine, direct from the lees ( the residual or dead yeast left after fermentation or aging).This can alter the taste of the wine by adding complexity and nutty flavors and can soften the oak tannins.
Sur lie aging can improve the color and add a creamy freshness to wine.
