Production Details Grapes were harvested manually, sorted on arrival and handled by gravity. The producer page and the importer’s detailed 2022 vinification section specify 12 months on fine lees, but the producer-hosted technical sheet linked from that page specifies 9 months. The importer page also contains a generic introductory statement of approximately 6 months, conflicting with its wine-specific 12-month section.

Food Pairing Shellfish, fish in sauce and ceviche
