In the Glass — Tasting Notes
Fragrant and luminous, this Pinot Noir speaks to site rather than extraction. Red cherry and raspberry flow into a medium-bodied frame with bright acidity and silky tannin structure. At 13.5% ABV, it's weightless enough to drink alone yet substantial enough to anchor the table.
The Winery — Jane Eyre
Jane has spent the last decade splitting her year between Burgundy and Australia, building her reputation on a restless search for delicacy over ripeness. She began making wines under her own label in 2012 with three barrels of Pinot Noir, a philosophy unchanged today: selecting fruit from excellent growers across Yarra Valley and Tasmania, then vinifying without over-extraction or heavy oak to let the grape speak. The 2023 vintage comes from the region's east-facing slopes, shaded from afternoon heat—precisely where cool-climate Pinot thrives in Australia.
At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving
This is the wine for precision and restraint: braised or roasted chicken, soft cheeses such as Brie and Camembert, charcuterie, aged hard cheeses, and mushroom-led dishes all sing alongside it. The 13.5% alcohol and silky structure make it equally at home on a date night or wrapped as a thoughtful gift. Vegetarian and vegan-friendly, sealed with a screwcap for reliability. If you're drawn to site-driven, unfussy winemaking, explore our wider Pinot Noir selection, or discover the broader range of Australian wines that share this commitment to excellence.
