Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page. The shares published by the estate already total 100% even though it lists other grape varieties: for lack of a consistent breakdown, none are shown here.

Compare with the blend on the technical sheet, at the top of the page: the two answer different questions.
