Must is the unfermented grape/fruit preparation.  The yeast is added to the must to create wine.  The addition to bread would add wild yeast in small amounts, acidity (pH), flavor, and some level of astringency based on the amount of tannin in the grape skins.  

This may have been a leavening by some definition of 'must' of which I am not aware.....in that case, please educate me so I can properly repent and attone for my lack of knowledge :o)
