Coriole Vineyards Fiano 2024
"Raised in tank (75%), old oak (10%) and concrete (15%), with the latter finding increasing favour with winemaker Duncan Lloyd over oak. Brightly fruited and subtly complex, with a savoury, backbone and oyster shell minerality. Lemon pith, tart golden apple, green almond, yellow grapefruit and soft herbs seasoned with fennel seed and white pepper. There’s a seamless quality to this, peppy acidity neatly meshed into the finely-tooled mouthfeel, escorting the flavours through a crisp and very long exit." 95 Points, Special Value, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion
"The thing about Coriole Fiano, is that it tastes like Fiano. Is this the 20th release of this wine? Well, around about that. Green apple, green herbs, a whiff of aniseed, lemon peel, and a little bit of seaside fun. It’s juicy, it’s quite savoury too, with some raw almond and herbs, a lively tang of green apple and pink grapefruit, a light chalky grip to texture and plenty of zing and energy, plus some quinine bitterness on a finish of excellent length. Bust out the calamari and chips, it’s game on." 94 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"Bright lemon and lime tints in the glass. Fragrant nose of lime zest, crushed quartz and tropical fruits. Palate has a good core of ripe tropical fruits matched to crunchy citrus acidity that lifts it and drives the flow. Good length and has a sinew of acidity right to the finish." 92 Points, Stuart Knox, The Real Review
The Lloyd family founded Coriole in 1967, and are considered pioneers in the McLaren Vale region, and visionaries in the planting of Italian and French varieties. Long before it was fashionable, Mark Lloyd developed vineyards of Sangiovese, Picpoul, Chenin Blanc, Nero d’Avola, and others, plus of course, Shiraz. They are considered one of the leading lights of the region.
