She prizes fragrance and delicacy over artefact and ripeness.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs in Burgundy, Jane buys the grapes for these wines. The fruit for the Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir comes from two vineyards in Merricks. The average age of the vines is 30 years. The wine is vinified using 20 – 25% whole bunches in an open-topped wooden fermenter. It spends three weeks on the skins, with several light punch downs, and is aged for 10 months in used French oak barrels. Unfined and unfiltered, it's open, and has a lovely aroma of cherries and orange zest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2018, Jane secured some fruit from the ‘Thousand Candles’ farm in the Yarra Valley. The site is located 65 kilometres northeast of Melbourne and is famed for the quality of the Pinot Noir which grows there. She uses 20% whole bunch and gentle extraction techniques in order to produce a wine which is elegant and poised, with beautiful perfumes of red fruit and violets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2021 Jane produced a Tasmanian Pinot Noir, which is made with fruit from two vineyards; one in the island’s northernmost wine region, Piper’s River, and the other on the iron-rich soils of the Tamar Valley. Jane uses just 10% whole bunch in this wine and matures it for 10 months in a combination of new and used 500 litre French oak puncheons. It has great purity of fruit, with pomegranate, a touch of spice and fine, persistent tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jane-eyre-tasmania-pinot-noir","title":"Jane Eyre Tasmania Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJane Eyre sources her Pinot Noir grapes for this wine from two vineyards on Tasmania's northern coast. Two thirds come from the iron-rich soils of Tamar Valley, a region which runs along the Tamar River. The final third is sourced from Pipers River, Tasmania’s northernmost wine region which surrounds the much smaller river of the same name, roughly 20 kilometres to the north-east. After picking, most of the grapes were destemmed, with 10% being left as whole bunches. The fruit was cold soaked and gently macerated for 10 days before being basket pressed direct into 500-litre French oak puncheons (17% new). The wine matured for 10 months and was lightly filtered prior to bottling. Bright crimson in colour, this Pinot Noir has beautifully pure red fruit aromas, with a little pomegranate and a touch of spice. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied and has a good depth of fruit that is balanced by a fresh acidity. The finish is long, with fine, persistent tannins.
