Sunrise Vineyard is named for its picturesque view as the sun rises over the vineyard on the eastern hills every morning. It’s located in the Estrella District, a 66,800-acre area of valley floor and river floodplain, 745 to 1,800 feet above sea level. Vineyards are planted on a series of terraces and foothills of various slope angles and aspects. The terroir is perfect for growing premium grapes -- warm days lead to cool nights, moderate soil rooting depths control vine vigor, and tempered water stress produce complex fruit flavors.
