The Dharmapalan Estate is located on a stunning 500-acre property nestled in the exclusive High Valley appellation in Lake County, California. Jacqueline and Jonathan Dharmapalan sought out this pristine, fertile and untouched land and then planted 130 acres to vineyard in 1999. Today, their viticultural dream has come true with the release of the select and highly- sought small production Dharma wines.

The vineyards are situated on hillsides at elevations ranging from 2,000 to 2,400 feet and were immaculately planned and developed to the highest standards of modern viticulture. Rootstock and clones were carefully matched to the site, soil, weather and varietal.

Enchanting, exotic and unique, the Dharma labels are printed on Thai silk with original art that honors the Dharmapalan heritage and illustrates the beautiful, feminine qualities that their wines possess. Crafted by renowned winemaker Barry Gnekow, the single-vineyard Dharma Wines are the realization of beauty and a natural expression of the distinct terroir of California’s High Valley Appellation.
