The Heritage of Orujo

The production of Orujo, a spirit distilled from grape pomace, forms a crucial part of Galicia’s rural heritage. Known as “aguardiente,” orujo specifically is crafted from the skins and seeds of grapes, embodying a practice that has been perfected over centuries in this Atlantic-influenced region. The Albariño grape, renowned for its aromatic richness and balance, is pivotal to this spirit’s unique profile.
