About Coriole
Coriole is a McLaren Vale institution.
It's a winery with two sides. On one hand, they craft classic regional versions of Shiraz and Cabernet which are exemplary. On the other, they have been a trailblazer for emerging varieties (Italian varieties, in particular) in Australia.
Owner and winemaker, Mark Lloyd was one of the first in the country to experiment with Sangiovese and Fiano and has been hugely influential in bringing these varieties into the Australian wine zeitgeist.
Today, Mark's son Duncan has taken over the winemaking duties and the experimentation with emerging varieties continues. Nero d'Avola, Negroamaro, Piquepoul have come into the fold.
Coriole never stands still. They are trailblazers that have had a huge impact on the changing face of modern Australian wine.

Critic Reviews
"Purple smelling and tasting, if you know what I mean. Has a sort of iron/ozone character over dark cherry and boysenberry, some black jelly bean and flowers, dusty sweet spice too. Excellent volume of fruit flavour, juicy and all sweet dark cherry, plenty of suede-like tannin, balanced acidity, and a perfumed finish of very good length, a bit of ferrous tannin carting it along. Delightful. Pretty and robust at once." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
