    Tyson Stelzer, 2022 Halliday Wine Companion 13/08/2021

    Hazards Vineyard, East Coast; 34% whole bunches; fermented in 16% new French oak barrels. The exotic exuberance of whole bunches changes the game for Hazards Vineyard pinot noir, filling it with Campari, burnt orange rind and orange bitters. It will appreciate time for this flamboyance to settle down, making space for its spicy berry fruits to assume their rightful position. It holds the fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and undeterred persistence to go the distance.

    The Mount Amos label is a new addition to the Devil’s Corner range and marks their aspirations to make wines that can be among Tasmania’s best, and this wine delivers on many levels. Bright mid cherry red, there is a delicious array of aromas, from dark cherry and rhubarb lifted by stalky spice through to a touch of mushroom and well handled oak. The palate is then quite young and unevolved but the balance and silkiness are undeniable. Spice and sour cherry flavours are at the forefront, although it promises much more with time in the bottle, before a long and fine finish. Lots to like here and a couple more years in the cellar will help the wine to reach its full potential.

The fruit underwent a cold soak and was plunged twice a day until fermentation began, with the inclusion of partial whole bunches. Hand plunging occurred in open-top fermenters, increased to up to four times a day during the middle part of fermentation. Fermentation temperatures hovered around 30ºC. After basket pressing, the wine settled for 48 hours before being transferred to French oak barrels, including 16% new oak.

The Hazards vineyard produces wines of depth and intensity with a powerful colour and flavour. This vintage will go down as one of the best in recent memory, a wet spring filling the dams and a dry, warm growing season leading to great colour and fruit intensity.
