The wine then aged in small concrete vats. Production was limited to 300 cases. The sheet reports “Acidity 3.1 g/L,” without specifying total-acidity basis, residual sugar <2 g/L and sulphur 70 ppm; these qualified or differently labelled measurements are retained here without converting them into unsupported exact canonical values.
