"Gee, Coriole are knocking out some excellent white wines.
Love the texture here, it’s really chalky and pithy, and in with that some brine, a little lavender and lemon thyme perfume, ripe lemon and pink grapefruit, juicy and zippy acidity, with a peppery finish of excellent length. Delightful. So clean and fresh. I’m giving it a bonus point for being so interesting and good to drink." 94 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"This saw a classic cool-steel ferment, with some pressings blended back. Picpoul can be linear and acidic with not too much else going on, a perfect seafood and sunshine wine. This still fills the latter brief, but there’s also real depth and detail to the fruit flavours – it’s the 10th release, so vine age may also be chiming in. Classic green apple and lemony zing, red apple skin, a burr of grip, there’s tension and nerve, with a briny, maritime quality. It’s dry, mouth puckering, salivating. Lovely."

"Piquepoul’s the variety that brought about the demise of a billion oysters. There’s just something about its saline tang and pithy crunch that suggests bivalves only exist to go with this. They love this variety in southern France where it grows near the estuaries of the Languedoc, and they’ve fallen for it in coastal McLaren Vale too. It’s punchy, crisp and flavourful; dangerously drinkable.11.5% alcohol", 92 points, Nick Ryan's Best Wines of 2024, The Australian Magazine
"Ultra pale lime and lemon tints. Baking bread, sea spray and lemon zest aromatics. Lime fruits, sea spray and gardenia notes all run along the palate. Good fruit intensity with bright acid that guides it to a good length finish. Clean and refreshing. 2024–2027". 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.
