The 2023 vintage at Jane Eyre Wines continues the tradition of producing refined and expressive wines with hallmark precision. Like 2022, 2023 was shaped by a warm growing season, but with the significant difference of ample rainfall when needed, keeping the soils well-nourished. The reds display lovely perfume, aromatics, and depth—qualities Jane prioritises in her Pinot Noirs—while the whites, after a slower start, have blossomed into vibrant, expressive examples of the vintage.
"A standout, made from two exceptional parcels, this wine showcases a deep nose of morello cherries and violets. The palate is rich yet fresh, with harmonious red and blue fruit, fine tannins, and a savoury finish. Whole-bunch fermentation (70%) lends complexity, while no new oak keeps the focus on pure fruit expression."
Our note
Jane’s use of whole-cluster fermentation increased in 2023, coupled with colder soaks at the start of fermentation. This approach has resulted in wines with richer colours and enhanced complexity. While the vintage is already showing expressive youthful charm, it also holds great potential for aging, making 2023 both approachable and collectible. The wines evolve quickly, offering fresh insights with each tasting.
What the critics say:
"A new supplier for 2023. 80% whole bunch vinification. A lively ruby crimson colour. What starts quietly becomes remarkably juicy on the palate, with a wealth of red cherry-raspberry fruit, delivering good intensity and persistence. A gorgeous fine long aftertaste. Tasted Dec 2024 ****"
"Mid, bright ruby. Perfume and volume! Quite sensuous and intense with zesty red cherry, redcurrant and cassis. Not a tannic hulk of a Corton, but firm structure nevertheless and good concentration, with fine, crisp acidity. All in balance with the depth of grand cru fruit."
