Jansz Tasmanian Premium Brut Rose NV

Jansz Tasmania is a luxury sparkling wine house, solely devoted to the art of sparkling winemaking since 1986. Location is integral to growing outstanding fruit and only Tasmania can boast such idyllic conditions. Put simply, it is the perfect place to craft premium sparkling wines. By allowing nature to do the work, the wines are naturally expressive of Tasmania's pure, pristine environment.

Jansz is lead by vigneron, Jennifer Doyle whose viticultural journey began 28 years ago in her home state of New South Wales. Whilst Jennifer’s career has seen her traversing cool climate regions of Orange, Pemberton and Margaret River, the last 12 years have found her firmly planted in the Jansz ‘Pontos Hills’ and ‘Woodside’ vineyards in southern Tasmania. Sustainability is important to Jennifer, in life and work. She began exploring alternative methods of managing pests and diseases early in her career, realising the multi-faceted value of protecting and enhancing biological diversity. Jennifer’s 2012 Dr Don Martin Sustainable Viticulture Fellowship study tour further inspired this pathway. In 2017, Jennifer was awarded ‘Viticulturist of the Year’ at the Australian Women in Wine Awards, for consistent performance, innovation and best practice methods to achieve results.

The grapes are sourced from selected cool climate vineyards across Tasmania, ranging from the Pipers River and Tamar Valley regions in the north to the Coal River Valley in the south. Specially selected and crafted individual batches form the basis of this Rosé. All hand-picked, with gentle whole bunch pressing, cool fermentation, 100% malolactic fermentation, complex assemblage and extended ageing on lees after bottle fermentation, all combine to produce a stylish and complex wine. To maximise blending options and complexity in the
final wine, batches are kept separate during winemaking. Released with three months of bottle age.

This is a vibrant sparkling Rosé showcasing the beguiling aromatics inherent to Tasmanian sparkling Pinot Noir. There are delicious, captivating aromas of strawberries and cream, rose petals, Turkish delight and fresh brioche. The palate is creamy, textured and rich while
retaining an elegant vibrancy and freshness. A wine full of “joie de vivre” that brings the delights of summer into the glass at any time. Once released this wine is ready to enjoy.

Pale tea rose with a very fine bead. Strawberry and redcurrant fruit. Some meaty pinot notes under. The palate is the key here - elegant, creamy texture, some fine phenolic grip that adds structure and great length. The finish is dry, savoury and refreshing. - David Bicknell, The Real Review.
