Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion • 29/01/2024Pinot noir from the Hazards Vineyard on Tasmania's East Coast, partial whole bunch and matured in French oak, 14% new. Subdued ruby in the glass with aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry fruits together with an array of spice, floral overtones, dried meats, rhubarb, dried citrus rind and earth. The aromas transpose over onto the palate with wild strawberries leading the charge, tannins and acidity, fine, tight and true.
The fruit underwent a cold soak and was plunged up to 4 times daily 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 14% new oak.

| Growing Conditions | 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. Mt Amos is the pinnacle of what we can achieve in Pinot Noir where we select the best parcels from the season. |
