A few hundred cases
At this scale there is no blending away a bad barrel and no second chance on a pick date. What lands in the bottle is one block, one season, and whatever the winemaker decided that week. It means vintages vary more, bottles run out, and the person pouring usually made it. That is the trade, and it is the whole point.
