Coriole Vineyards is a winery located in the McLaren Vale wine region of South Australia.

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 Bon Sante, and built a small winery, which forms the basis of the existing modern winery.

In 1968 the property was bought by Hugh and Molly Lloyd, who released the first Coriole label vintage in 1969. with the help of winemaker Graeme Stevens.

In 1985 Coriole pioneered the introduction of the Italian Sangiovese grape variety into Australia.

Description

The winery is located in the McLaren Vale wine region in the state of South Australia.

As of 1998 it was exporting wine to the U.S., 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.

Events

Coriole Music Festival

The Coriole Music Festival is a classical music festival comprising three concerts that has been taking place at Coriole since 1999. A different theme has been chosen each year, and the music directors have included Christopher Burrell, Anthony Steel, Anna Goldsworthy, and Simon Cobcroft.

Here's to Now

From 2013, Coriole has played host to the Here's to Now music festival, held at the end of the year (or sometimes the first weekend in January). One reviewer wrote that the festival "could be described as 'WOMAD on a millennial budget'".
