Tasting Notes

Jane Eyre Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2025

"Strawberry, raspberry, dark cherry, a fair bit of spice here, a lick of pencil and cedar oak, some undergrowth, mint and dried flowers. It’s medium-bodied, an earthy and savoury character mingles with juicy red fruits, a fine grainy grip to tannin, some sappy acidity carries on a nutty finish of excellent length. A bit of a Beaune vs Yarra thing happening here, that earthiness of the former and the finesse of the latter. Very good. 94 Points, Gary Walsh, Wine Front

From vines over 30 years old, 10 months in oak. This is often the most reticent of the Jane Eyre wines, taking a little time to reveal itself. Not so this year, though that’s not negating the possibility of more left to unfold. Wild red fruits, sour cherry, rose and pomegranate, fringed with warm spices. The fragrance is quite beguiling, red fruited, floral, subtly spiced with white pepper, yet this is not about explosive fruitfulness; rather, elegance and poise are the themes. That fragrance blooms further on the palate, the structure all about refinement, with filigreed tannins and finely resolved acidity. 95 Points, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Company

Jane Eyre has become a reputable name in Burgundy, reaching great heights in 2021 after being awarded the prestigious Négociant of the Year award by La Revue du Vin de France. Each year she returns to her home state of Victoria, as well as Tasmania, to produce a line of terroir-driven Pinot Noirs in limited quantities from exceptional sites. There is a cohesive style across both the French and Australian Pinot Noirs, a thread of clarity and expression of vintage and place, that has built a strong following.
