Coriole Vineyards

Coriole Vineyards is a winery located in the Seaview District in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia. Coriole was established by the Lloyd family in 1968, and now exports wine to the USA, Canada and various countries in Europe and Asia. They produce red wines from grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Barbera. Their range of whites is made from grapes such as Chenin blanc, Fiano and Semillon. The business also sells olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and local cheeses.

History :
The original house and barn were built around 1860, while the Shiraz vineyard was planted in 1919. In 1962, after several changes in ownership, Coriole was sold to John Snell, who established Australia's first organic winery, Chateau Ban Sante, and built a small winery, which forms the basis of the existing modern winery. In 1985 Coriole pioneered the introduction of the Italian Sangiovese grape variety into Australia.
