Jansz Tasmania Vintage Cuvee 2015
Wine: Jansz ‘Vintage Cuvee’
Producer: Jansz
Country: Australia
Region: Tasmania
Vintage: 2015
Style: Sparkling White
Blend: Chardonnay 55%, Pinot Noir 45%
ABV: 12.5%
Size: 75cl
Notes: 55% Chardonnay 45% Pinot Noir part barrel fermented & four years on the lees after the secondary fermentation.
This ‘method Tasmanoise’ (traditional /Champagne method) dry sparkling wine has pale gold colour with a fine bead & persistent mousse. Intense & complex aromas of preserved lemon, pear skin & hazelnuts with underlying nuances of white flowers & freshly baked brioche. Layered & elegant, the palate displays notes of candied citrus zest, apples, sea spray, rose water & strawberries.
“This blend of Chardonnay & Pinot Noir spends four years on lees, resulting in a richer, more complex wine than Jansz’s non vintage cuveé. A nose of apple & pear skins marries with soft honey, toast & floral notes. The palate is chalky in texture, with vibrant bubbles, yeasty honey-flecked apple fruit & a lengthy finish. Drink now.” 93/100 winemag.com
Producer Info: As a pioneer of premium Australian sparkling wine, Jansz Tasmania is renowned for its unique style, known simply as méthode Tasmanoise. The name pays homage to Tasmania’s namesake, the Dutch explorer Abel Jansz Tasman, who was the first European to sight the island in 1642.
The Jansz Tasmania vineyard, which is now owned by the Hill-Smith family, sits to the north-east of the island state within the Pipers River region of the Tamar Valley. This cool little corner is colloquially known as ‘Sparkling Tasmania’. Temperatures here are moderated by its close proximity to Bass Strait & the ocean breezes keep the temperature up during Winter – minimising risk of frost – & down in Summer, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly & develop intense, delicate & refined flavours. Resting on a bed of pure, red, free-draining basalt soil, the vineyard is truly the perfect site to grow grapes for world-class sparkling wines.
