{"product_id":"shafer-hillside-select-etats-unis","title":"Shafer - Hillside Select - 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eHillside Select is the purest expression of the Shafer estate: it comes exclusively from the property's hillsides in the Stags Leap District, within the Napa Valley. It blends the Sunspot, John's Folly, Hitching Post and Palisade blocks, whose small, deeply coloured berries offer remarkable concentration. The 2023 vintage, one of the longest and coolest in more than a decade, allowed slow ripening until the end of September.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand and then destemmed. Alcoholic fermentation, carried out with native yeasts, and skin maceration take place in stainless-steel tanks for around a month. The wine is then aged for 28 months in new 228-litre French oak barrels from the Allier and Tronçais forests, and bottled without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblackcurrant\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblueberry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eliquorice\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003elilac\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecigar box\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecracked pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e.
