Pomace brandy

Common card · No. 292354

Pomace spirit (or pomace brandy) is a liquor distilled from pomace that is left over from winemaking, after the grapes are pressed. It is called marc in both English and French, "grappa" in Italian, "tsipouro" in Greek and "bagaço" in Portuguese. In Spanish it is called orujo or aguardiente. Alcohol derived from pomace is also used as the traditional base spirit of other liquors, such as some anise-flavored spirits. Unlike wine brandy, most pomace brandies are neither aged nor coloured.
