Tasting Notes

Coriole Nero 2024

"Fermented with 15% whole bunches, with seven days total on skins; six months in seasoned oak. Fragrant and supple, with sour black cherry, wild raspberry, goji, pressed flowers and hardy Mediterranean herbs, this is an excellent expression of the grape. Hitting mid-weight and savoury, absent any confection, which can sometimes dog the variety, this is so adroitly made, picked at the right time and avoiding any showiness by using winemaking tools to frame, not control, with the line of fine and ripe, sandy tannins underlining its class. Nailed it." 95 Points, Special Value, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion

"Dark cherry, raspberry, a bit of a steely ozone thing which I like, dried herbs, new leather and spice. It’s medium-bodied, red and black fruit, spicy, has some orange peel and black olive rolled in herbs, light sandy tannin, a bit of tang, and a finish of good length and grainy texture. Good stuff." 91 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

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.
