Las materias primas de origen vinícola utilizadas en LA ALCOHOLERA para su transformación en productos tartáricos y otros, son tres: oruja, lías y vino en bruto.
This is the solid and semi-solid part of the grapes that remain after pressing. These are grape seeds, stems and skins. The pomace contains potassium bitartrate and ethyl alcohol. Pomace is used in the production of ethyl alcohol, grape seed oil, and grape seed pellets. The residual product, known as exhausted pomace, is used to produce thermal and electrical energy.
Lees are a by-product of the filtration and concentration of the musts. Depending on the process used by the winery, they may be liquid or solid, and cream or red in colour, depending on the type of grape. They are used to produce calcium tartrate and ethyl alcohol.
