Coriole Reserve Range 2007

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 2010

...and then there were three! Introducing our Vita Reserve Sangiovese.

Coriole Vineyards announce the release of our Reserve Range from Vintage 2007. In addition to Lloyd Reserve Shiraz and Mary Kathleen Cabernet Merlot we now introduce 'Vita' Reserve Sangiovese, only our second ever reserve release of this variety, and the first since 1998.

"Vita" (life) expresses all the good things about this savoury, medium-weight wine that works wonderfully with food. We chose the name Vita as it conjures up an enjoyment of life, food, art and music. The wine has been selected from our best vineyards and barrels from Vintage 2007, with all components estate-grown on classic Terra Rosa soils.

The vintage in McLaren Vale was distinctive, producing wines with great ageing potential. Lloyd Reserve is sourced from a single vineyard. Planted in 1919, it is the oldest vineyard on the estate. The 2007 wine is tightly structured, with complex even tannins and great length. Cellar confidently for 15-20 years.

Mary Kathleen is also sourced exclusively from estate fruit, with vines planted in the late 60's and early seventies. For 2007, the blend is 75% Cabernet and 25% Merlot, giving the wine a distinct red currant and berry influence, with a creamy textured, long finish.
