A plausible sequence is not verified production history. Cold soaking, pumpovers, filtration, precise maturation and blending require producer or technical evidence. Do not turn these hypotheses into whiskey-profile facts.
Full second-edition reading; locators are supplied PDF positions, not printed pagination.
GPF–MBMB orders grapes, pre-fermentation handling, fermentation, malolactic fermentation, blending, maturation and bottling. The author explicitly labels hard-to-detect practices as probable and says blending across parcels or vintages is generally difficult to establish from the glass.

Context and limitations
A plausible sequence is not verified production history. Cold soaking, pumpovers, filtration, precise maturation and blending require producer or technical evidence. Do not turn these hypotheses into whiskey-profile facts.
Interpretation
Retain the source's personal and wine-specific context. Do not turn the observation into a fixed whiskey property, a tested blend formula or an unsourced causal claim.
