Production Details The exact-2021 listing describes organic farming and estate fruit from vines more than 50 years old; fermentation was initiated with a pied-de-cuve and the must remained in skin contact for one night, followed by aging in fiberglass. It reports bottling unfined and unfiltered with less than 15 ppm SO2. The producer's current unvintaged profile instead specifies aging in neutral epoxy tanks of 2,500–8,000 L, filtration before bottling through 5-micron PE cartridges, and sulfur values of 15–60 mg/L, added or not according to grape quality and wine stability. Because the filtration and sulfur specifications conflict in release scope, no 2021 unfiltered boolean or numeric sulfites_ppm claim is proposed.
