Every block from the Jansz Tasmania vineyard was hand harvested, produced separately, and kept this way until blending late in the year. Gentle handling, partial barrel fermentation and intricate blending has resulted in this powerful 2012 Jansz Tasmania Vintage Cuvée. Close to five years ageing on yeast lees after the secondary fermentation gives wonderful complexity to the final wine. Blend 55% Chardonnay 45% Pinot Noir.

The 2011/12 growing season began with a mild Spring, resulting in even flowering and good fruit set. Summer temperatures were slightly above average resulting in an earlier than usual finish to vintage with almost all of the Jansz vineyard fruit harvested before Easter. The resulting wines show concentrated flavour and fruit purity with their customary mouth-watering natural acidity.
