Production Details Hand-picked grapes underwent a one-month natural fermentation that was initially temperature-controlled and then allowed to proceed at its own pace. The wine stabilized naturally in stainless steel during winter, received gentle filtration, and was not chaptalized. The sheet also says it was bottled in March 2007; that date is anomalous for a 2000 vintage and is retained as an unresolved source statement rather than normalized as a bottling_date.
