Tasting notes - Jansz (Tas)
Premium Cuvee Non Vintage and Premium Rose Non Vintage
Jansz Tasmania
Jansz is in the heart of the Pipers River wine region of north east Tasmania and produces some of Tasmania and Australia's best known sparkling wines.
The Heemskerk Vineyard was established in 1975 and is the birthplace of Jansz Tasmania. In 1986, Heemskerk was joined by the esteemed Champagne producer Louis Roederer of Reims, France in their pursuit of the definitive Australian sparkling wine. Louis Roederer shared the belief that the climate of the area - so similar to that of the classic wine regions of Burgundy and Champagne - was ideal for the production of finely structured methode champenoise.
Jansz Premium Cuvee NV
The Jansz Premium NV Cuvée is based upon Jansz wines of several vintages. Specially selected and crafted individual batches from cool climate locations in Tasmania form this wine. Every site used to source grapes is specifically designated to growing fruit for sparkling wine.
A fine aperitif sparkling showing lifted fruit characters and complexity. Very pale gold in colour with a fine bead and persistent mousse, Jansz Premium NV Cuvée is a Chardonnay-dominant style that has finesse and balance with complexity and length of flavour. The bouquet shows lifted aromas of honeysuckle and citrus fruits from the Chardonnay, with nougat and roasted nuts derived from the tirage age, while the Pinot Noir contributes delicate strawberry. The palate is well balanced with delicate fruit flavours, creaminess and fresh acid, leading to a dry, light finish with lingering flavours of citrus and nougat.

Jansz Premium Cuvee NV Brut Rose NV
The Jansz Premium NV Rosé is based upon Jansz wines of several vintages. Specially selected and crafted individual batches from cool climate locations in South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria, with the largest regional parcels being Tasmanian, form this wine. Every site used to source grapes is specifically designated to growing fruit for sparkling wine.
All batches are kept separate during winemaking to maximise blending options and the complexity of the final wines. The wine then goes through secondary fermentation in bottles and is aged on yeast lees for as long as possible with the average age of the final blend being 18 months to two years.
Jansz Premium NV Rosé is vibrant delicate pink in colour with a fine persistent bead. The nose offers lifted notes of strawberry and cream, with
delicate rose petal florals. This wine is rich with the creaminess of the mousse while the Pinot contributes strawberry notes that filling the palate. The fruit flavours give length to the wine and fresh natural acid provides balance and a refreshing finish.
