About this wine

Vintage notes

The 2006 season was initially balanced, but an exceptionally hot weekend in August coincided with veraison and severely damaged the grapes, reducing the crop by roughly 60%. Harvest began very early, and the resulting wines were high in alcohol. Magma “R” was the preferred wine of the vintage for its concentration. The vintage was rated Good+.
