In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Brilliant crimson with a pure red fruit backbone, this wine speaks of maritime restraint: pomegranate and a whisper of spice undercut by sharp acidity. At 13.5% alcohol and medium body, it drinks with refined balance—neither thin nor overstuffed—rewarding simple roasted chicken or soft cheese with its fragrant, delicate character rather than demanding heavy-handed cooking.

The Winery — Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre began her Australian label in 2012, sourcing grapes from growers across multiple premium sites rather than estate vineyards. Her philosophy—developed through years as a micro-negociant in Burgundy—prioritises fragrance and delicacy over extraction and ripeness. For the 2024 vintage, she worked with Tasmania's northern coast vineyards, two-thirds from Tamar Valley's mineral soils and one-third from Pipers River. The early, clean 2024 harvest produced vibrant acidity and varietal purity; after cool maceration, the Pinot Noir spent ten months in mostly neutral French oak, allowing red-fruit characters to remain centre stage rather than vanish beneath oak spice.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is a wine that tastes like place and grape, not winemaking technique—a conversation rather than a declaration. It sits comfortably among the finest cool-climate expressions, rewarding roasted poultry, cured meats, truffle-touched dishes, and creamy risotto with its mineral edge and silky frame. Perfect for date nights or as a thoughtful gift to anyone exploring what Australia can deliver alongside traditional Old World benchmarks. Chill slightly and let the maritime character shine.
