Coriole Chenin Blanc 2012
Ripe and juicy, with plenty of varietal flavour and length, this marginally sweet chenin has rather a pungent bouquet of nectarine, peach and melon offset by rather grassy, vegetal nuances. More restrained, the palate delivers a creamy, if slightly viscous presence of peach/melon fruit wrapped in a soft acidity. It finishes with lingering notes of cashew and a hint of sugar.

Coriole
Coriole is a long-established small wine business in McLaren Vale that applies art and finesse to its long-living expressions of the region's popular specialities of shiraz, sangiovese and semillon. Typically, the current releases are spotlessly made, over-deliver for their price points and offer an alluring combination of flavour, poise and elegance, all the way from the astonishing Redstone Shiraz to the flagship Lloyd Reserve. Coriole's whites are typically fine and seamless, gentle and savoury. It's so easy to see why I look forward to tasting its wines every year.
