Coriole McLaren Vale Redstone Shiraz 2019 (Australia)
This is a classic McLaren Vale Shiraz. A savoury nose of mocha, ground spice, raspberry and blackberry bramble. A plush palate offering up plum, dark cherry and soft oak. The Redstone is a fruit driven Shiraz made to enjoy in its youth, though will cellar well. Tannins are soft and made approachable with great fruit length.
The winemaking results in a softer, juicier Shiraz, more subtle tannins than is typical from their Estate grown range. Aged in French oak for 12 months, this is a balanced and very drinkable style.
The 2019 vintage at Coriole had dry weather, resulting in one of their smallest vintages ever. Yields were down, particularly with Shiraz and Cabernet, but the wines show impressive depth and balance. Their Mediterranean varieties showed their potential under these conditions, with the Sangiovese vines producing solid yields, great balance, flavour and acidity. Their Nero d'Avola, Montepulciano and Touriga ripened late, but once again with great balance and flavour. The Chenin Blanc and Piquepoul held up their acidity. Producing mid-weight wines with beautiful fragrance, and the Fiano is showing concentration of flavour, richness and texture.
Food Pairing: Greek cuisine pairs beautifully with this wine... try a slow roasted lamb shoulder generously studded with rosemary, garlic and lemon. Serve it with torn pita, chargrilled vegetables and lashings of garlic sauce.
