"McLaren Vale Shiraz grown in the right place is quite something,
Here’s a deep, powerful and ferrous expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Blackberry, hazelnut, dark chocolate, black olive and mint. It’s thick and ferrous, all the black olive and ironstone things, savoury but plump in sweet dark fruit, praline, sooty and firm, with a bold and nutty black fruit finish of superb length. Quite something." 95 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"From original estate vines that are over 100 years old; matured in French oak, with 25% new. This is dripping in dark fruits and spice, a cohort of blackberry, dark plum, olive, anise, pumpernickel, bitter chocolate, cured meat, black pepper and demi-glace. Impactful, powerful, though not overbearing with it, the oak internal framework, not facade." 95 Points, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion
"Deeply brooding aromas of blackberry compote, blueberries, bitter chocolate, violets and sweet spices. The palate is full-bodied with finely tuned tannins, bright acidity and a seamlessly textured and creamy palate. There is a lovely complexity and vividness with underlying power." 95 Points, James Suckling
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.
