Production Details Matured for 16 months in barrels under a traditional-viticulture designation. The retailer's nutrition panel lists 328 kJ, 79 kcal, carbohydrates 0.20 and sugars 0.20, but the rendered source does not state the measurement basis or units for the carbohydrate and sugar figures; no residual-sugar or calories-per-100mL claim is therefore proposed.
