Chakra Wine Club presents a Four-Course Dinner with Palmaz Vineyards
Chakra Wine Club Presents…
A Four-Course Dinner with Palmaz Vineyards
Palmaz Vineyards’ winemaking and aging takes place within the living rock of Mount George, in a flawlessly engineered maze of tunnels and lofty domes. The height of the wine cave is equivalent to an 18-storey building, providing the vertical range needed for true gravity-flow winemaking. Thus, the wine is never subjected to the violent agitation of pumping, which can change the wine’s intra-molecular structure. This gentle treatment allows the finest nuances of flavor to develop naturally-the result is a complex, elegant wine.
