In addition to Hillside Select, Shafer Vineyards produces a range of other notable wines. Their Shafer One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of estate fruit and grapes sourced from neighboring vineyards, offering a rich and textured expression of the varietal. Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay is highly regarded for its balance, vibrant acidity, and layers of tropical fruit and citrus flavors.
Shafer Vineyards is committed to sustainable and responsible viticulture. They practice organic farming methods and employ environmentally friendly practices to ensure the health of their vineyards and the preservation of the land. The winemaking approach at Shafer Vineyards combines traditional techniques with modern innovations. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in small lots, and aged in French oak barrels to enhance complexity and structure while respecting the fruit's integrity.
Shafer Vineyards' dedication to quality and craftsmanship has earned them numerous accolades and critical acclaim. Their wines consistently receive high ratings and are sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world.
