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.
Jansz Tasmanian Premium Cuvée Brut NV is brought together by combining Old World inspiration with New World innovation. These bubbles are produced by sourcing high quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from vineyards across Tasmania, in a house style with 2 years of age on lees for extra complexity and opulence.
Aromas of honeysuckle, citrus zest and fresh strawberries from the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit. Extended time on lees during secondary fermentation contributes to more complex aromas of nougat and roasted nuts. The palate is balanced with delicate fruit flavour, fine creamy texture and refreshing natural acidity.
Nose - Citrus, Stone Fruits, Cashew Nuts
Orchard blossoms, apricots and white nectarine, cashew nuts citrus lift.
Palate - Elegant, Lemon Meringue, Zesty
Effortless complexity on the palate with lemon curd, toast, apple, refreshing grapefruit bitterness.
Finish - Mineral, Leesy, Balanced
Two years on lees offering roasted nut characters, finishing with balanced sweetness and fresh and long.
Full yellow-gold, with some cashew aromas, followed by an intense mix of stone fruit, citrus and strawberries set in a creamy mid-palate, the citrus-toned finish clean and fresh. - James Halliday, Halliday's Wine Companion.
Pretty, tasty and fun but not without grace and refinement. It offers light lemon and strawberry flavours with a touch of earthiness and has balanced sweetness and good length of flavour. At the price point it’s just the ticket. - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
A cool-climate Chardonnay-based fizz that punches above its weight. About 5% of the wine matures in old French oak before the second fermentation, where it spends two years on lees, gaining creamy toasted almond notes to join crisp green apple fruit. A steal when on offer. - Tina Gellie, Decanter.com
