Production Details Hand harvested, spontaneously fermented in small old oak barrels without added sulfite, matured on lees in oak until bottling after nine months, and bottled without fining or filtration; the importer describes nearly four further years on bottle lees. CPH Wines recommends 10–13°C and lists a 14 April 2025 disgorgement, but explicitly warns that disgorgements may vary by shipment, so that date is retained only as release context rather than a vintage-wide disgorgement fact.
