English term or phrase: lees

Definition from winedoctor:
A heavy sediment consisting of dead yeast cells and other solid matter such as grape pulp, pips and so on. Keeping the wine on the lees, especially if they are stirred from time to time, may be beneficial to the wine, imparting extra flavour and body. Eventually, however, they must be removed. This may be achieved by racking the wine off the lees. Residual solid matter may be removed by filtration.

Example sentence(s):

Some wines (usually white) are left in contact with their lees to increase the complexity and enhance the structure of the finished wine. By leaving the juice to remain on top of the lees (and/or occasional stirring) after fermentation, all the dead yeast and skins, etc., can provide additional flavors, body, and richness. Wine weekly
We recommend racking and aerating the wine, with temporary removal of the lees. This practice has the double advantage of eliminating unpleasant odours and making it possible to continue ageing on the lees. The lees are kept separately in barrel and stirred frequently, then put back into the wine VITIS-VEA
During wine aging on lees, some membrane lipids of yeast lees, in contact with dissolved oxygen at low concentration, may undergo mild oxidation explaining the capacity of yeast lees to consume oxygen. CAT.INIST

澱（おり）

Definition from own experience or research:
ワインのボトル底には沈殿物がたまることがあります。これは澱（おり）と呼ばれています。

酒石酸カリウム（いわゆる酒石）、色素、タンニンが沈殿した沈殿物を総じて「おり」と呼んでいます。

Example sentence(s):

ワインの中には、原料の葡萄に由来するさまざまな成分が入っていますが、貯蔵が長くなったりすると酒石酸カリウム（いわゆる酒石）、色素、タンニンなどが不溶性になって析出してくることがあり、これを「オリ」と呼んでいます。このオリはワイン自体の成分なので、熟成がつきもののワインにとっては避けられない現象であり、もちろん無害なものです。ただ、オリ自体は苦みが強かったり舌にザラついたりするので、口に入れるとワインの味を損なうことがあるため、できるだけきちんと沈殿させて上澄みを飲むようにした方がよいでしょう。 - お酒飲料大辞典
ＤＲＣは究極のビオ（自然派）ワインで、澱引きもしないしそのまんまの造りなので、澱が多いんですよ。でも澱って、おいしくないんです。どうぞ、澱ワインの試飲を」。勧められて、澱だけ集めたグラスを飲むと……たしかにマズイ！酒のカスというか、なにやらブヨブヨした味で、ワインとは別物の味です。「ネ？ですからＤＲＣをはじめ自然派ワインは、やっぱりデキャンタして澱をわけてから飲んだほうが絶対おいしいです」（斎藤氏） - 神の雫作者のワイン日記より
