Single Vineyard, Gruyere

After a one-year absence, this single vineyard Pinot Noir returns.

The wine shows a bright garnet colour, with an elevated proportion of whole bunch contributing lifted aromatics of spice and perfume. The palate is refined, finishing with fine, elegant tannins.

Halliday Wine Companion

“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 quiet 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.” - Marcus Ellis
