गहराई से
The simplest and oldest clarification method. Each racking separates wine from settled lees and introduces controlled oxygen exposure. Multiple rackings over months gradually clarify wine. Barrel-to-barrel racking is standard; some winemakers rack to tank and back. Excessive racking can strip wine of beneficial lees character and over-oxidize.
