WINE MAKING PROCESS
Shafer Vineyards employs low-yield viticulture on its hillside estate vineyards, utilizing fine rootstocks and clones to produce small, concentrated grapes. Sustainable farming practices are a cornerstone of their approach. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation with a philosophy of minimal intervention to preserve fruit expression. It is then aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels, contributing to its structure and texture.
