Montepulciano was first planted at Coriole back in 2001. We love the variety for its rich intensity and lovely array of savoury characters to balance the dark cherry fruit. Montepulciano is late ripening and often the last variety we pick. We use fruit from both our Coriole and Willunga vineyards. At Coriole, the vines are grown on terra rossa which gives the wine a more structural element, whereas fruit from Willunga has richer flavour and generosity.

"Dark, inky, youthful and opaque in the glass. Aromas of plum, mulberry, spice, dried herbs, graphite and bramble. Fleshy, dark fruited, plush and generously flavoured. There’s plenty of plummy juiciness, dark chocolate and sweet spice, along with bright, snappy acidity and firm, textured tannins. Delicious. 92 points"
