“Corofin is an artisan family wine company. Our sole ambition is to transmit the voice of the land and the season through crafting small single block wines from pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. The hope with all Corofin wines is to transmit a sense of place and season first, over fruit intensity or winemaking ambition.”
