Fermentation is yeast converts the grape sugar into alcohol  amd carbon dioxide.  Stopping fermentation  early leaves sweetness in the wine.

Vintage is the affect of the weather.  Every year is suppose to be different.

Terroir (terr wa) is every aspect of the land where the grape grow like the soil, the slope, the vegetation around the grape, wind and temperature, etc.

Late-disgorged means the wine aged on the lees longer than usual, resulting in additional layers of aromas and flavors.
