Standing Sun Wines | WineMaps
Description

The Winery...

Standing Sun Wines focus on Rhone variety wines, handcrafted in small lots from some of Santa Ynez Valley's premiere vineyards. The fruit is sourced as vineyard specific varieties, each with its own characteristics and diversity. The resulting wines are pure, unmanipulated wines in the true sense of wine making... take a great vineyard, pick great fruit, and simply make great juice.

 The Vineyards...

We source all our fruit from the Santa Ynez valley, in Santa Barbara county. Each vineyard is chosen for its individuality, in respect to our desired variety of grape, and also its uniqueness of location and terroir. We have chosen some of the best vineyards in some of the best areas of Santa Ynez, including Tierra Alta vineyard on Ballard Canyon, Clover Creek vineyard on Refugio Rd, Colson Canyon vineyard near Tepesquet and Camp four vineyard on Baseline Avenue.

The Wines...

Standing Sun wines focus on simple, unmanipulated wines, fermented individually and aged in neutral French oak barrels for 11 months.

The Wright Family...
