DEVIL'S CORNER: Devil's Corner on Tasmania's east coast is one of the wildest and relentless environments on earth. The name derives from sailors who discovered a treacherous bend of the Tasmania Tamar River and named it Devil's Corner. Today, it is home to some of the most stunning vineyards in Tasmania and the highest quality, approachable, and cool climate wines. Devil's Corners farms all of their own vineyards, using holistic and sustainable viticultural practices, including 5,000 sheep for weed suppression and building soil health. In 2023, Devil's Corner vineyards and winery were certified sustainable by Sustainable Winegrowers Australia (SWA).
JOEL TILBROOK: Winemaker Joel Tilbrook maintains that with these wines it's more about what they DON'T do. Devil's Corner vineyards produce expressive fruit with bright cool-climate acidity - Joel's winemaking is all about showcasing these natural qualities. They make fruit-driven wines, occasionally adding complexity through whole bunches in the ferment, aging on the lees with occasional stirring, using open fermenters, natural yeasts, cold soaks, basket pressing and minimal fining and filtration before bottling. When oak is used it's 100% French from 10 different coopers and a range of toast levels.
