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
“Notes of pink cherries and nectarines with hints of lavender, dried herbs and dried citrus peel. Some bread crumbs, too. Round and more creamy on the palate with delicate mousse and vivid, clean acidity. Tangy, citrusy finish.” — James Suckling, 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.
