Bagaceira

Portuguese name (also Aguardente Bagaceira, Bagaço or Aguardente Bagaço) for grape marc spirit. For designations in other countries, see pomace.

This pulpy mass consists of grape skins, pulp, seeds and, if no destemming has taken place beforehand, also stems. Other names are Bälisch (Mosel), Lauer, Leier, Lor(c)ke, Lur(c)ke, Trebern, Tröber and Trasch/Träsch (Switzerland).
