"Coriole Lloyd Reserve Shiraz is sourced from a single vineyard planted in 1919. This east facing site on deep clay soils is located in the curvaceous landscape known by McLaren Vale locals as the "Seaview area". Vinification takes place in concrete and steel open fermenters. Fermentation is completed in barrel. The wine is matured for 16 and 18 months in a combination of new and old American and French oak. Coriole Lloyd Reserve Shiraz, a traditional but modern classic, is a robust but beautifully balanced style. The wines have intense ripe blackberry/black olive aromas and meaty complexity with plenty of palate richness, fruit sweetness and texture. These wines are deceptively forward when young but develop for the medium to long term. "Andrew Caillard MW
