1997 Coriole Mary Kathleen Reserve Cabernet Merlot - Museum Release

Please note: this back vintage wine has been professionally cellared in ideal conditions at Nicks for many years, and we have tasted and approved the quality of the stock offered. However, due to the age and natural bottle variation of older wines, we cannot guarantee that every bottle will be perfect and we are unable to offer refunds or replacements for bottles that may not show perfectly. Although we doubt there will be faults - please purchase with this in mind. Due to the age of this wine, some bottles may show signs of advanced maturity and we recommend enjoying it sooner rather than further cellaring.

Coriole Vineyards was established in 1967 by Hugh and Molly Lloyd in the heart of McLaren Vale, South Australia. Remaining family-owned, the estate has become one of the region's recognised producers, with a long history of championing traditional Australian varieties alongside alternative Mediterranean grapes. The Mary Kathleen Reserve is named after family matriarch Mary Kathleen (Molly) Lloyd, one of Coriole's founders, and was first produced in 1992. Sourced from three small, select vineyards on the Coriole estate, the 1997 wine is a traditional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Merlot (20%). Presented here as a Museum Release, it represents an early chapter in the history of this signature wine from one of McLaren Vale's established family-owned wineries.
