Description
Shiraz has been Coriole’s principle variety and flagship wine since the first bottling in 1970. Coriole Shiraz is 100% Estate grown and the average vine age is 50 years old.
The Coriole 2022 Estate Shiraz beautifully demonstrates the mixture of fruitfulness and savoury elements that the 50-year-old vineyards provide. The nose shows a delicate blend of blackberry, violet, black tea and bergamot matched with a ferrous earthy richness that evokes the estate’s clay and limestone soils. Notes of pepper, black olive and blueberry compliment concentrated dark fruit, plum and cacao. Full bodied, rich and graceful with lush tannins and impeccable balance, this is a great example of the depth and elegance that a cooler growing season can bring to wines from McLaren Vale.
Serving Suggestion: A classic dish for a classic wine – try with a rare roast beef, with a healthy level of marbling scotch fillet stays beautifully tender and juicy. Serve laden with pepper sauce and all the usual trimmings.
