Solid residue (mostly dead yeast cells and grape pulp, pips and skins) that remains in the cask after the wine has been drawn off Many white wines and some reds are kept on their lees for a period of time to protect them from oxidation, enrich their textures and add complexity Wines protected by lees contact can often be made with less sulfur addition, but careful technique is essential to ensure that off aromas don't develop
Sediment remaining in a barrel or tank during and after fermentation Often used as in sur lie aging, which indicates a wine is aged on its lees See also: sur lie
During and after fermentation there are particles left over from the grapes and fermentation These yeast cells, grape skin, seed, leaf, and twig particles are called sediment and often there is a lot of it This coarse, rough sediment is at times separated from the wine through racking When the wine is left on the lees in an attempt to garner more flavor, this is called sur lie aging

Refers to residual yeast and other particles that precipitate, or are carried by the action of "fining", to the bottom of the fermentation vessel US winemakers use the term "mud" Imparts distinctive flavours to the wine depending on type Derived from French term "lies" as in "sur lies"

(wine term): sediment remaining in a barrel or tank during and after fermentation Often used as in sur lie (French for "on its lees") aging, which indicates a wine is aged "on its lees" This means that the wines are kept in contact with the dead yeast cells and are not racked or otherwise filtered This is done mainly for whites to enrich them It is a normal part of fermenting red wine
