Our Review
While Coriole was established in '67, the site and gardens date back to 1860, when the original farm houses that now constitute the cellar door were built. The oldest shiraz forming part of the estate plantings was planted in 1917, and since ’85, Coriole has been an Australian pioneer of sangiovese and fiano. More recently, it has planted piquepoul, adding to grenache blanc, negro amaro, sagrantino, montepulciano and prosecco. Quality across the range is admirable. -JAMES HALLIDAY

Cellar Door
Information
The Cellar Door at Coriole opened in 1972 in the old ironstone barn built in 1860.
The Coriole Cellar Door is open every day except Good Friday and Christmas Day. Apart from our well-known wines, there are always opportunities to taste wines exclusively available in cellar door. This may include rare single vineyard shiraz's, the ever popular "Dancing Fig" or perhaps a mourvedre. There may also be some special Wine's of the Month on a board in cellar door so make sure to have a look when you come in.
Walk-ins welcome, however, due to a very small cellar door all groups of 7 people or more need to be pre-booked.
