Wine Description

The Jansz Vineyard in the Pipers River region in Northern Tasmania is one of the great sparkling wine vineyards in Australia. Planted on deep, free-draining, ferrasol soils overlooking Bass Strait, these soils and climatic conditions combine to allow long cool ripening on beautifully balanced vines, whilst also minimising the risks of frosts.

Acclaim
“Very, very pale orangey pink. Not much mousse. But very alluring Pinot nose and great balance of fruit and freshness. Like being caressed on the cheek by a feather. Gentle but not actively sweet. As suggested by Tam here, it really did go well with roast beef.” – 17 points  — Jancis Robinson, May 2024
“100% Pinot Noir picked in ‘the finest blocks’ of the Jansz vineyards in northern Tasmania, with views of the Bass Strait. Proper Tassie briskness defines this wine, but so does exquisite creaminess. The nose brims with shortcrust pastry, fresh strawberry and cream, honey and blood-orange peel. The palate is rounded with oaky smoothness, but oceanic freshness and brightness shine. Wet pebbles make the finish seem even longer.” — Decanter, Jan 2024

About the Vineyard

A cool to mild spring and early summer with above average rainfall. Yields were well matched for ripening with a healthy canopy. A mild to warm air system settled over Tasmania three weeks prior to harvest, perfect for finishing off the final stages of ripening while maintaining the fine acid that had developed through the cooler months. Gentle handling during harvest and in the winery, with all fruit being hand pruned and hand picked.
