Coriole Chenin Blanc 2025 750ml

Fresh McLaren Vale Chenin Blanc with pear, apple, citrus and crisp mineral lift.

Coriole Chenin Blanc 2025 is a bright, refreshing and highly drinkable McLaren Vale white from one of the region’s most loved family wineries. Chenin Blanc has long been Coriole’s principal white variety, and this vintage shows exactly why the grape works so well in the region.

The 2025 release is crisp, crunchy and fruit driven, with nashi pear, pink apple, lemon, spring flowers, green pistachio and fresh herbs. It is light, fresh and beautifully balanced, with enough texture and fruit concentration to make it more interesting than a simple everyday white.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Nashi pear, pink apple, lemon, spring flowers, cut herbs and subtle pistachio.

Palate: Fresh and crunchy with pear, apple, citrus, light herbal detail, fine acidity and gentle texture.

Finish: Clean and refreshing with lingering lemon, orchard fruit and a crisp mineral edge.

Halliday Wine Companion - 92 Points

From a range of sites, and mostly mature vines (40-year average), fermented in tank, with 5% in old oak. This is one of those wines that you don’t hesitate to grab from the bottle shop – it’s so reliably good and so well priced. That lineage holds here, and then some. Crisp and crunchy, like simultaneously biting into a chilled nashi pear and pink apple, with some lemon, green pistachio, spring flowers and cut herb notes attendant. It’s lightweight and just so dangerously drinkable. Marcus Ellis

Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled at around 8 to 10 degrees. Enjoy with seafood, prawns, roast chicken, salads, fresh cheeses, vegetable dishes, sushi, spicy Asian food or light Mediterranean meals.

About The Winery

Coriole is one of McLaren Vale’s most respected family wineries. The estate was founded by Hugh and Molly Lloyd in 1967 and remains family owned, with historic farm buildings dating back to the 1860s and original vineyard plantings from 1919.

McLaren Vale is best known for generous reds, but Coriole has also built a strong reputation for white varieties with freshness, texture and regional character. Chenin Blanc has been central to that story since it was first planted at Coriole in 1977.

The variety is well suited to McLaren Vale’s moderately warm climate, producing wines with fruit concentration, bright acidity and the ability to age. Coriole’s Chenin Blanc has developed a loyal following because it is reliable, refreshing, excellent value and full of character.

Cellaring Potential

Coriole Chenin Blanc 2025 is delicious now for its fresh pear, apple and citrus character. It can also be cellared over the short to medium term. Drink now to 2030 under good storage conditions.
