WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Tectonic Rosé focuses on preserving the intense, delicate primary aromas of the Traminer grape. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness in the cool early morning hours to prevent oxidation. After gentle destemming, the grapes undergo a brief cold maceration on the skins to extract the signature pale pink color and aromatic precursors. This is followed by gentle pressing and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures (14-16°C). The wine is aged on its fine lees for a short period to enhance texture and mouthfeel before filtration and bottling.
