2025 Jane Eyre Pinot Noir, Tasmania

From three mature sites in the state’s north; wild ferment, then 10 months in French oak. As usual, some slightly darker fruits here, black and dark red, but composed and refined with it, as these wines always are, with transparency and detail favoured over opulence. There are some floral notes here, too, in the blue-to-purple zone, somewhat dusky, along with warm ground spices. This is the most generous of the regional trio – though the prior elegance qualification applies – supple and textural, with a sustained length. Very good indeed.

96 points Marcus Ellis for Halliday Wine Companion, July 2026

Dark cherry and blue fruits, some exotic spice, floral perfume, and most fetchingly a sort of ironstone/earthy/mineral character about it which is, I guess, kind of hard to describe though you’ll recognise what I’m talking about if you try the wine. It’s medium-bodied, gently sappy and savoury, shows a fair bit of spice, and pulls more into cherry and red fruits to taste, tannin is mouth-coating yet fine-grained and shapely and the finish is long with a subtle blood orange flavour. Really good wine.
