Majella The Composer Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 [WM 98]

Estate grown fruit from the Majella vineyard in Coonawarra. The Composer is a vivid dark magenta red colour with a crimson hue. Lush eucalyptus and red fruit aromas are paired with a bright, flavour filled, medium weighted palate of cassis and red berries. Subtle oak integration enhances the smooth and balanced finish. A plush, juicy and mouthwatering cabernet with great persistence of some lovely, lifted blackberry fruit laced with licorice and mint and soft and fresh lively tannins. Rating: ★★★★★; Equal Top in Category; 98 Points; Winestate Magazine; July August 2022. WINEMAKING Individual parcels of fruit are fermented in stainless steel fermenters for 5 days, then tranferred to French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to finish fermentation. The wine parcels were then aged for another 18 months in oak before being assessed, blended and bottled as a young red to retain freshness.
