Shiraz

Tasting Brief: Coriole Shiraz

Shiraz is the great tradition of McLaren Vale, going back to the 1850's. The first Coriole Shiraz was bottled in 1970. This wine is from estate grown shiraz from vines that are 25 or 35 years old.

A vibrant lifted and fragrant aroma of red fruits and chocolate. The palate is primary, or fruit driven, rather than developed in its flavours and is juicy, generous, with velvety tannins.

At release in June 2005 this wine is well balanced but needs time to settle its flavours and textures.
