Made as a fruit-driven drink-now style with generous flavours, this delicious cool-climate Tasmanian Pinot Noir can also be cellared confidently for up to three years.
 
 
Recommended food pairings: 
A versatile food wine that can be enjoyed with light or heavy dishes.
Try this with pan-fried duck breast with roasted Mediterranean vegetables.
Or serve it with venison that is drizzled in a red wine and black pepper jus.
 
Growing Conditions: The Devil’s Corner Pinot Noir is sourced primarily from our Hazards vineyard located on Tasmania’s East Coast.
The 2018 saw long slow ripening conditions producing very high-quality Pinot Noir fruit for table wine, concentrated in colour and in character, and able to be harvested at only moderate potential alcohol yet with full flavour and ripeness.
 
Winemaker: Tom Wallace
Winemaking notes: The fruit was crushed and fermented on skins in static fermenters using an air maceration technique that allows gentle extraction of colour and tannins without overpowering the wine. It was bottled with an alcohol of 13.0% a T.A. of 5.9g/l and a pH of 3.51.
