Chenin Blanc is Coriole’s principal white variety and was first planted in 1977.

Chenin Blanc is an aromatic wine that has great fruit concentration and yet shows an outstanding ability to age. It has proven to be well suited to the moderately warm climate of McLaren Vale.

The painting featured on the label is by Mary Kathleen "Molly" Lloyd, co-founder of Coriole, who was inspired to capture Coriole's beautiful spring landscape from a neighbouring hillside.

"From a range of sites, and mostly mature vines (40-year average), fermented in tank, with 5% in old oak. This is one of those wines that you don’t hesitate to grab from the bottle shop – it’s so reliably good and so well priced. That lineage holds here, and then some. Crisp and crunchy, like simultaneously biting into a chilled nashi pear and pink apple, with some lemon, green pistachio, spring flowers and cut herb notes attendant. It’s lightweight and just so dangerously drinkable. 92 points"
