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.

Tasting Note

The wine is pale garnet, with cherry-red tints and starting to show some typical Sangiovese development after 18 months in bottle. The nose is complex - earthy and rustic with chocolate also prominent. Iodine is a character seen in many aged wines from the Seaview region in McLaren Vale and is evident here.

The palate is medium bodied in weight but fine and generous with a soft texture and multi layered tannin structure. Will reward with time in the cellar.

"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.
