Coriole Sangiovese Shiraz

Coriole Sangiovese Shiraz shows redcurrant, cherry, dark chocolate and a soft earthiness on its nose. Hints of liquorice and spice lead into a medium bodied, juicy palate that displays dark berry and red fruit. It is a wine that shows the best characteristics of both grape varieties: richness and lushness from the Shiraz with the Sangiovese imparting a savoury, structural edge. Drink now and over the next few years.

Shiraz has long been Coriole’s principal variety and it was first planted on the estate in 1919. Sangiovese was planted at Coriole in 1985 and it now has the oldest Sangiovese vineyards in the Australia. The two varieties blend well together: Shiraz provides richness and concentration and Sangiovese provides beautiful red fruit and a savoury texture.
