Coriole Vineyards

Coriole Vineyards was established by the Lloyd Family in 1967. The earliest vineyards date from 1919, in the Seaview sub-region of the McLaren Vale wine region in South Australia. The main variety is Shiraz, followed by Sangiovese and Chenin Blanc. Wines are estate produced and sold in many countries around the world. The original farmhouses were built in 1860 and are now the epicentre of the garden and cellar door at the winery. The original vineyards were planted immediately after the first world war. Shiraz is the great tradition of McLaren Vale going back over 150 years, and is the major variety planted on the estate. The first wine released was the 1970 Claret (Shiraz). Coriole has been an Australian pioneer of Sangiovese and Italian varieties since 1985. Coriole is managed by two family members, Mark and Paul Lloyd
