breed a veil of natural yeasts (FLOR) in its surface
Explanation:
I think you may need to leave FLOR as such, it is basically a special yeast to make Sherry wine.

The following glossary may be very helpful to you during this translation.



http://www.thewinedoctor.com/glossary/xyz.shtml

Flor
A yeast vital for making Sherry. It's presence on the surface of the wine protects it from oxidation, and such a wine may be bottled as a Fino or Manzanilla. When it dies, it sinks to the bottom of the barrel, and the resulting wine is an Amontillado. If no flor develops at all, the resulting wine is an Oloroso. Partial development of flor, which then dies, produces a rare style known as Palo Cortado.
