Portuguese term (edited): manta (do lagar do vinho)

contents of a wine press

A minha dúvida é o sentido da palavra manta já que este sentido usado aqui não existe no portugues do Brasil (verifiquei no Aurélio). Entendo que seja aquela mistura de casca e suco dentro do lagar mas não sei qual seria a tradução desta mistura para o inglês. Veja a foto no segundo link abaixo.

A wine press is a device used to extract juice from crushed grapes during wine making. There are a number of different styles of presses that are used by wine makers but their overall functionality is the same. Each style of press exerts controlled pressure in order to free the juice from the fruit (most often grapes). The pressure must be controlled, especially with grapes, in order to avoid crushing the seeds and release a great deal of undesirable tannins into the wine.[1]

Este ‘lagar robótico’ é constituído por um tanque pouco profundo em aço inoxidável equipado com pistões mecânicos para pisar uvas cujos movimentos suaves reproduzem com exactidão a acção dos pés humanos, sendo de facto as uvas pisadas contra o chão do tanque, ao contrário de outros métodos recentemente introduzidos no Douro, que simplesmente empurram a ‘manta’ na direcção do mosto.
