History
Vineyard at Coriole Wines
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 Ban 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 1970, with the help of winemaker Graeme Stevens.[7]
In 1985 Coriole pioneered the introduction of the Italian Sangiovese grape variety into Australia.[8][9]
