Mindfully Made
Sustainably grown & Produced
Sunny is mindfully made in a way that’s good for the world we share. Sunny is sustainably grown and produced from our family’s estate vineyards in Monterey, California (Big Little Lies vibes).
Coastal sunshine, crisp sea breezes and a rich landscape nourish our vines with Cali goodness.
Sustainability Snapshot
Sustainable Growing
Healthy and happy vines make the best wines. We use drip irrigation throughout our vineyards to reduce water consumption, cover crops to nourish our soil with needed nutrients to keep them healthy, and natural pest methods to keep our vineyards nice and balanced.
Sustainable Winery
We minimize our impact through energy efficiency and waste reduction. 100% of our winery water is recycled to ponds and reused in our vineyards. Fun fact, we use about 50% less water than an average winery of our size.
Renewable Energy
Let’s talk about energy. Our winery is 100% powered by renewable energy from our wind turbine that stands tall in our home vineyard. Even better? Our wind turbine creates enough clean energy to share with 125 local homes in our community.

A great tasting, low calorie wine that is true to variety. The only thing you’re giving up is the calories and sugar.

Finding the Sweet Spot
Winemaker Casey DiCesare likes to say that flavors are made in the vineyard.
Our grapes are left to hang on the vine and soak up the sunshine .
They develop full flavor until they are mature enough to harvest.
The grapes make their journey to our estate winery, where they are crushed and fermented to dryness.
Using proprietary technology, the alcohol is gently pulled from a portion of the wine, leaving behind an alcohol-free product.
This share is then blended with the finished wine, finding the sweet spot of flavor, mouthfeel, and body.
