Pump over
To circulate fermenting juice of red wines from the bottom of the tank over the skin cap that forms during fermentation to ensure optimal extraction and prevent bacterial spoilage.
Two common techniques for doing so are pump over and punch down.
Capsule
The decorative metallic or plastic foil covering the cork and the upper neck of a wine bottle. Capsules may be replaced by a bit of wax on the top of the cork.
Carafe ...
While we were performing these tasks, we saw the other winery staff doing things like updating charts that track fermentation, pump overs, filtering and re-positioning barrels full of aging wine. Cheerful dispositions are the norm all day.
