2023 Yarra Valley Pinot Noir

Tasting notes:

Sourced from a single vineyard planted with 30 years old vines grown on an east-facing slope of grey clay loam soil. Partly barrel fermented and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (15% new). Aromas of red berry fruits on the nose. Medium-bodied with powdery tannin complemented by a backbone of natural acidity.

Producer description:

Previously a hair-dresser in Australia, Jane Eyre first made wines under her eponymous Mornington Peninsula label in 2012, making three barrels of a Pinot Noir. She has since risen to the front rank of Burgundy. Jane has received fantastic reviews from serious critics Jancis Robinson, Tim Atkin and Neal Martin and was awarded the title Negociant of the Year 2021 in the Revue des Vins de France. Her wines are textured, perfumed and superbly balanced.
