Jane Eyre - Tasmania Pinot Noir - 2023

Tamar Valley/Pipers Valley/Huon Valley/Derwent Valley 38/30/26/6%; native-yeast ferment with 10% whole bunches; matured in French oak (15% new and 30% second fill) for 10 months. This is effortlessly aromatic at this early stage, with a skein of red and dark fruits, lilting florals and orange zest. The cool year and pan-isle blending have resulted in a wine of intensity matched with considerable verve, both of flavour and spritely structural drive. It’s also just joyously drinkable, but without any lapse into frivolity. Lovely. 96 Points Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion
