The Composer is crafted from selected parcels of estate grown fruit from the Majella vineyard in Coonawarra. Individual parcels of fruit were fermented in stainless steel fermenters for five days, then transferred to French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to finish fermentation. The parcels are then aged for approximately 6 months in oak before being assessed, blended and bottled.

“These guys are such reliable producers, with a number of their wines representing wonderful value. On that score, hard to beat this Cabernet, especially when it hails from a top vintage like ’22. A vibrant deep red, the nose is redolent of black fruits, tobacco leaves, warm earth and chocolate. This is bright and fresh with sleek tannins and impressive length. For enjoying any time over the next ten to fifteen years. And yes, cracking value.” 93 points, Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
