Winemaker Notes
A blend of Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache which has been aged in French and American oak. Opaque, vibrant crimson colour with mauve edges. Rhone like nose, with aroma of blackberry, raspberry, spice and earth, with a hint of vanilla and liquorice end notes. The palate flavours are not as intense as the nose suggests, but are supported by fine, firm tannins. Flavours of raspberry, truffle and earth are dominant. Well balanced, followed by spice and blackpepper aftertaste. Cellar 3-4 years.

Spectator
Coriole Vineyards was established by the Lloyd family in 1967 in hills overlooking the McLaren Vale wine region and Gulf St Vincent. The area is one of Australia's oldest and best-known wine districts.
Most of the vines on the 38 hectare (98 acre) property were planted 25 or 80 years ago. Additional Lloyd family vineyards nearby take advantage of district climate and soil variations.
Grant Harrison, winemaker, has at his disposal a small winery offering a choice of state of the art equipment and traditional techniques.
Coriole has a landmark cottage garden spread around a heritage listed barn and cottage dating from the1860s constructed of local ironstone.
The spectacular views from Coriole are framed by an ancient range of hills running down to the sea. Mainly red earths over limestone, good winter rainfall and the moderating influence of the sea have made Coriole a popular premium wine maker of the McLaren Vale district.
