About Tendu Wine
Tendu Wine takes its name from the French tendu — taut, stretched, held under tension. The tendu philosophy declares wine made under the tension of low alcohol and high natural acidity: wines inspired by Vinho Verde and Alpine styles, light-bodied and crisp, served in the spritz-and-light European tradition that contrasts with California's typically fuller-bodied, higher-alcohol mainstream. The Santa Barbara boutique produces Assyrtiko and Grüner Veltliner at low alcohol levels that the tendu (taut) philosophy declares.
