About the Producer
The Lloyd family of Coriole are both tradition-keepers and innovators. McLaren Vale’s history is in many ways defined by the sites on which the Coriole family vineyards grow. The Lloyd family have held and nurtured some of these remarkable old-vine Shiraz and Grenache vineyards. Their flagship Lloyd Reserve Shiraz is drawn from a site with century-old vines and speaks to the remarkable character of the region. At the same time, the family have also reached out to showcase the success of French varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, and Chenin Blanc, as well as Italian Sangiovese and Fiano. Their wines reflect both the amazing terroirs of the region as well as the passion of the family.
Reviews & Notes
Sylvia Jansen
"An Italian grape variety successfully done in Australia. This Sangiovese is medium bodied, with a nice balance between a core of fruit and a savoury edge. -SJ"
Rick Watkins
"Nose of cherries, ripe fruit, chalky Sangiovese tannins. Strawberries on the palate."
Gary Hewitt
"From the oldest commercial Sangiovese vines in Australia, and considered the standard for Oz, this wine sure ain't Tuscany (the menthol-eucalyptus note is a give away) but the ripe red fruit (cherry, cranberry, raspberry) character and silky tannins shine in a balanced wine with a complex herbal underlay that has overt appeal. (2015 tasted 5 March 2018)"
