About the producer
Shafer vineyards was created in 1972 in Stags Leap District in the Napa Valley by John Shafer when he turned his back on his career in publishing. His son, Doug Shafer became the vineyard’s vintner in 1983, assisted by Elias Fernandez. This 85-hectare estate has quickly became a Napa Valley icon and has acquired an established an international reputation.
About the wine
To create this generous Chardonnay, rich in notes of melon, pineapple, apricot, honeysuckle and flint, nicely balanced by a delicate acidity, the domain favoured the fermentation of whole grape bunches. This was followed by a fermentation in barrels (75%) and in stainless steel. The wine was then matured for 14 months in French oak barrels (75% new wood) and in steel vats (25%).
