The palate shows lingering blackberry flavours and is round and full with soft tannins. Coriole Estate was established by the Lloyd family in 1967 in the hills overlooking the McLaren Vale wine region and Gulf St Vincent. Today. the estate is run by Mark Lloyd and his brother Paul, while the winemaker since 1999 is Grant Harrison ex Petaluma and Primo Estate. Coriole remains a small family owned company specialising in Shiraz, but which has also been at the forefront of producing Sangiovese in Australia. The original vineyard at Coriole, planted in 1920, is situated in the hills north of the McLaren Vale township, in an area known as the 'Seaview' sub region. There are 33 Ha of vines and many of these were planted around 1970 when the fashion was to plant in contours around the hills. From the top of these hills it is possible to see the whole McLaren Wine Region, the old Willunga Range and the sea. The fruit for this Reserve wine is sourced from several small 20 - 30 year old vineyards next to the winery, with Merlot usually comprising 20% of the blend. Open fermenters are selected for fermentation and maturation is in French Oak. The style is concentrated with elegance and a contrast to the richer Lloyd Reserve Shiraz. Low crop yield is of the utmost importance to ensure the fruit ripens to it's full potential. Both the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are trellised on a single cordon wire, and spur pruned to 20 buds to ensure vine balance and low cropping. The aim is to minimise the use of fertilizers and chemicals whenever possible to maintain healthy vines and deter vigour. The wine is racked 4 or 5 times while ageing in barrel for 15 to 18 months. It is then bottled and rested for a year prior to release. The mild conditions of this vintage resulted in a wine that is dark and dense in colour while fragrant cassis and chocolate are abundant. A powerful palate showing great richness, structure and length this wine is very approachable in its early years due to the incredible fruit sweetness.
