Pale gold with a delicate bead. Intense aromas of citrus zest, lemon curd and sea spray are overlaid with complex notes of sweet brioche, toast and nougat. The palate is elegantly structured with preserved lemon,
white peach, wild strawberries and rose water. Four years of ageing on yeast lees in bottle has built further complexity and subtle nuances of nougat and roasted hazelnuts. With a refreshing natural acidity on the finish, Jansz Tasmania Vintage Cuvée is a sparkling wine of finesse, power and elegance
Established in the mid 80s, Jansz Tasmania specialises in crafting luxury sparkling wines from Tasmania. Australian owned by the Hill-Smith family, the vineyard was named Jansz Tasmania, paying homage to Abel Janszoon Tasman who first sighted the island in 1642. Proudly Tasmanian.
Coupling Old World inspiration with New World innovation, Jansz Tasmania crafts this wine from vineyards throughout Tasmania,
all of which produce high quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Component wines are kept separate during winemaking to maximise blending options and the complexity of the final wine.
Each block is hand-picked and fermented as an individual batch. Gentle handling, partial fermentation in aged oak barrels for six months and complex assemblage blending has resulted in this powerful and elegant wine. Extended ageing on yeast lees for a minimum of four years after secondary fermentation gives wonderful complexity to the final wine.
A cool, mild spring and early summer with above average rainfall. A mild to warm air system settled over Tasmania three weeks prior to harvest, perfect for concluding the final stages of ripening whilst maintaining the fine acidity that developed through the cooler months.
Crafted from the finest blocks of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in our estate vineyard at Pipers River, this truly is a benchmark Tasmanian sparkling wine. Planted on deep free-draining ferrasol soils overlooking Bass Strait, these soils and climatic conditions combine to allow long, cool ripening, producing intensely flavoured fruit, balanced with lingering natural acidity.
