Corton Grand Cru, Jane Eyre, (Magnum) 2023
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.
Torbreck Vintners, The Factor, - 3L (Jeroboam) 2016
Torbreck was established in 1994 from the resurrection of old vines vineyards that had fallen into disrepair on selected sites in The Barossa Valley. Twenty five years later Torbreck makes 19 different cuvées to continued acclaim, sourcing fruit from a number of old, some might say ancient, dry-farmed vines in vineyards. The manager on a highland estate is referred to as The Factor, and Torbreck's The Factor is a tribute to what makes the Barossa truly special - those incredible old Shiraz vines and the dedicated growers who care for them vintage after vintage.
