Coriole Sparta McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022 (Australia)

Description

Blackberry, Oak, Spice

A bright nose of dark fruits, violet, leather, and blackberry bramble. A plush palate offering up a bounty of forest fruits, subtle spice and mellow oak. The Sparta is a fruit driven Shiraz made to enjoy in its youth through will cellar well. Tannins are soft and approachable with great fruit length.

Our Sparta vineyard was planted around 25 years ago on a north facing hillside on the western boundary of our property. The style is bright, rich and full bodied. 

The vineyard is surrounded on all sides by Kalamata and Koroneiki olive trees that we process into table olives on the estate. There is a further Greek connection as the property was originally owned by a Greek family who originated from the countryside surrounding Sparta in Greece.
