Jansz Tasmania Vintage Cuvée
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. The resultant fruit is intensely flavoured and balanced with lingering natural acidity.

Analytical Data
Wine Production
Each block from the Jansz vineyard was hand-harvested and made separately and kept this way until blending late in the year. Gentle handling, partial barrel fermentation and complex assemblage blending has resulted in this powerful 2014 Jansz Vintage Cuvee. Extended ageing on yeast lees for a minimum of 3.5 years after the secondary fermentation gives wonderful complexity to the final wine.
About the Vineyard
A late, but wet winter, ensured the soil profile was filled prior to budburst. Cool to mild conditions throughout flowering continued until Christmas when the temperature started to rise.
Summer was warm and dry throughout, resulting in naturally
higher acidity with richer, fuller flavours.
