The producer reports 17 months of barrique maturation and parenthetically says through January 2024, followed by bottling in May 2025. The stated 17-month duration and January 2024 endpoint are chronologically inconsistent with the September 2023 harvest and are therefore preserved without normalization. The site lies at 146–176 m with a 20% gradient; fruit comes from two upper-Idig parcels based on vines planted in 1977 and 2008.
