Coriole’s Sangiovese Shiraz has an alluring nose of spiced plum and mulberry with wild thyme and liquorice notes. The palate is fresh and lively, showing more red fruit with some lovely cherry, blackberry and savoury spice characters. The wine is persistent and concentrated with long lingering flavours.
Winemaker’s Notes: “Molly’s Garden is reference to the beautiful gardens around Coriole established by my grandmother, Mary Kathleen “Molly” Lloyd, and tended to today by my aunt, Ann. We have blended two of our most established varieties for this wine, shiraz and sangiovese. It is a great way to experience the soft plushness of shiraz along with the complimentary savoury characters of sangiovese. A fantastic all-rounder.”
Food pairing: This wine comes alive with tomato based dishes, particularly salami pizza with fresh torn basil. It goes equally well with Roast duck with sweet spiced Satsuma plum sauce and blanched Asian greens.
Shiraz has long been Coriole’s principle variety and was first planted on the estate in 1919. Sangiovese vines were planted at Coriole in 1983 and we now have the oldest Sangiovese vineyards in the country. These two varieties blend harmoniously together to create a truly unique and proudly Australian blend. Shiraz provides richness and concentration and Sangiovese provides beautiful red fruit and savoury texture.

string(832) "Also known as Syrah, Shiraz was the variety which introduced the world to the concentrated and masculine wines of 1990s’ Australia. Here in the Barossa Valley, Langhorne Creek, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale it produces wines of great density and richness. In South Africa there tends to be more structure and freshness with earthy tannins. It is a variety which alters in the bottle very much as a result of the individual winemaker’s philosophy, as well as reflecting the unique terroir of the estates. Great with oak, it offers lavender, kirsch, black cherry and cured meat aromas and flavours. In its native Northern Rhône it is famous for the wines of Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie, whilst in the New World can lay claim to providing Australia with its two most famous wines; Henschke’s Hill of Grace and Penfold’s Grange."
