Grape marc hat

Name (also hat, Trebernhut) for the mass of grape skins, pips and possibly stems floating on the fermenting must during the mash fermentation of usually red wines. These so-called press residues (pomace) are brought to the surface by the carbonic acid produced during fermentation and form a natural protection against too much oxygen, which would hinder the fermentation process. The picture on the left shows an open mash fermentation, the picture on the right a red wine pomace. See also under Grape and the whole process under Winemaking.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
