About

About The Wine

The visionary team at Coriole in Mclaren Vale have been pioneers of Italian varietals since 1985 making them one of the godfathers of Mediterranean wines in this country.

Aside from producing one of the most collectable Shiraz in the country, the Lloyd Reserve, Coriole has made it their mission to exemplify just how conducive “the Vale” is to Italian varieties. Their Sangiovese is widely regarded by many as a benchmark wine by both 'Sangio' connoisseurs and beginners alike.

The 2019 is the 33nd consecutive vintage of this wine, a remarkable achievement and something the Lloyd family can be extremely proud of. And it looks in great form too. This is the perfect place to start if you are looking to explore Italian varieties.

Complex, affordable and outrageously delicious!

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.

Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price.

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.

Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
