Our Natural Wines
The Feature Wine of 2024
Tectonic is a Skin Contact, or “Orange Wine” - a unique white wine made by allowing white grapes to ferment on their skins.
Though new to most U.S markets, the art of making Orange Wine dates back thousands of years to Georgia and remains popular today. We’ve been producing Tectonic, a vintage inspired by traditional methods, since 2016. It’s thrilling to see how many people are now curious about Orange Wine, and we’re excited this 8,000 year old wine making method is hitting the mainstream once again.
