Rorick Vineyard sits at 2,000 feet elevation in the Sierra Foothills near the town of Murphys. A vein of limestone runs through the area, leading to many natural cavern and cave formations. The alpine climate of the area adds large day to night temperature changes. These two elements combine to preserve high natural acidity in the grapes.

The Albariño comes from a steep hillside block with a north-eastern exposure. The vines were planted in the late 1990s. The vineyard transitioned to organic farming after Matthew Rorick purchased the property in 2013.

Highlawn has made this wine every vintage since 2014.
