Sunstone Estate wine brand launched cannabis beverage, the Sunstone Spritz. Sold exclusively direct-to-consumer, the Sunstone Spritz sparkling beverage is made from natural juice flavors and single-origin, full-spectrum, sun-grown cannabis rosin from Santa Barbara County. The Sunstone Spritz offers 5 milligrams of activated THC and is available in 4 flavors: Grapefruit Orange, Peach-Passion Fruit, Pineapple Coconut, and Watermelon.

The Sunstone cannabis rosin ingredient is crafted with a hand-churned method using ice, agitation, and pressure over time. Like single-origin olive oil, the single-origin nature of the cannabis ingredient allows Sunstone to assure consistent product quality and sustainable practices.

Additionally, Sunstone announced the launch of a related beverage additive product, the Sunstone Splash. The Sunstone Splash is a water-soluble, full spectrum rosin-based emulsion that can be added to any beverage for an enhanced experience.

Via technology partnership with SplashNano, the new Sunstone cannabis products employ a proprietary InfusedBySplash formula. The SplashNano technology is characterized by nanoemulsions which reduce particle size to submicron rating, allowing for both beverage infusion and fast-acting consumption effects.

"As a product formulator and technology entrepreneur, it was a dream to craft the science and product lineup for Sunstone," stated Kalon Baird, CTO and co-founder of SplashNano. "Sunstone's captive audience of wine connoisseurs is the perfect demographic to appreciate the nuances of the cannabis plant and culture. Offering the Sunstone Spritz to the wine community will contribute to the rapid adoption of cannabis-infused beverages as a historical precedent."

Patrons can purchase the Sunstone Spritz online for delivery within Santa Barbara County. Delivery to additional counties will come soon. Additionally, patrons will be able to purchase in-person from the Sunstone Cannabis Market, a brick-and-mortar dispensary which is targeted to open Q1 2024 in Santa Barbara.
