Coriole McLaren Vale Sangiovese 2024

New release of a modern Aussie classic. Already with 93pts – expect more. With a fabulous reputation for top-class Shiraz, Coriole’s Lloyd family are among the country’s most pioneering. They were among the very first to grow and produce Sangiovese (and Fiano) in Australia (back in 1985), and the quality of their Sangiovese today is exceptional."Such a reliable performer. Bright, crunchy, energetic sort of wine. Red cherry, raspberry, iron filings, some dried herb and almond. It’s medium-bodied, has a light grainy grip to tannin, good varietal flavour, and a lively finish of excellent length. Good stuff. 93 points” (Gary Walsh, The Winefront). Coriole has maintained a Halliday top-rating for many years, and has a place in Halliday's TOP 100 estates. "Coriole is rich with history,,, But anyone that knows Coriole understands that it as much about progression as it is history. More so, perhaps. An early advocate and tireless champion for sangiovese, chenin blanc true believer, fiano and picpoul’s first Australian adopter, and tireless explorer of other Italian and Rhône varieties, there is an energy to Coriole that is infectious.” (Halliday).
