Distillery Information

Many modern and trendy gourmet dishes have traditional origins: Ratatouille, Pot-au-Feu, Bouillabaisse, Cioppino, Paella, Risotto to name a few started as humble peasant meals. Whatever was available to working folk became fair game. Nothing was discarded and everything was used to create delicious, nourishing meals. Stories of Grappa in Italy, Marc in France, Orujo in Spain, Aguardente in Portugal and Spain share the same traditional origin of reclamation: all of them were the product of what was left from pressing grapes. The Pomace that remained after pressing contained residual alcohol and was then distilled into rough spirit. As the simple fare of the peasant cuisine has evolved into layered and complex gourmet dishes, so too these spirits have evolved into a strong complex and full of character, drink of choice.
