Jane Eyre Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2019 (75cl, 13.5%)

A 100% Pinot Noir from Victoria, Australia, from a single vineyard in Gruyere with about 30-year-old vines on an east-facing grey clay loam slope. The fruit was hand-picked and fermented with 15-20% whole bunches in French oak barrels (15% new), then aged 12 months before a single racking to tank, filtration and bottling at 13.5% alcohol. The importer sheet describes delicate red berry fruits on the nose continuing onto a slightly dusty palate, with fine powdery tannins and a backbone of natural acidity.
