Devils Corner Pinot Noir 2012

Review of Wine:

Pinot Noir is my wife's favourite red wine and also one of my favourites. Being a Tasmanian Pinot Noir and from Devils Corner you know the wine will be a high standard and it didn't disappoint as seems to be perfectly balanced. Although not the best Pinot Noir I have ever enjoyed it is a wine I would happy drink every night or be happy to take to a dinner party knowing everyone would enjoy it.

Background:

Intrepid sailors navigating Tasmania’s Tamar River discovered a treacherous bend and named it Devil’s Corner Vineyard. Beyond the tumultuous waters they found an amazing sanctuary, where still waters rewarded their navigational efforts. Their courage in pursuing this sanctuary is celebrated in this truly cool-climate, finely crafted wine from exceptional Tasmanian terroir.

Devils Corner VineyardDevil’s Corner Vineyard is on the East Coast of the island and has a maritime climate, pristine air and perfect terroir – and the most spectacular view of the famous The Hazards of the Freycinet Peninsula. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Riesling cool-climate wines have been crafted with fresh, vibrant fruit intensity, the Pinot Noir being the hero of the range.
