Jansz Tasmania vineyard lies in the Tamar
Valley in the heart of the Pipers River region in north eastern Tasmania. With a mantle of red
basalt soils and a cool climate moderated by the proximity of Bass Strait, the Jansz Tasmania vineyards are ideal for allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop the lingering acidity essential to produce a premium sparkling wine.
Jansz was Tasmania’s first sparkling wine to be made according to the traditional méthod champenoise and, as the only Tasmanian specialist solely devoted to the art of sparkling winemaking,Jansz Tasmania has since come to describe the technique used in creating each of their definitive wines as Méthode Tasmanoise.

Winemaker notes:
The Jansz Tasmania Non Vintage Premium Cuvée is pale gold in colour, with persistent fine mousse. A lifted nose displaying honeysuckle and citrus notes from Tasmanian Chardonnay. The tirage age contributes aromas of nougat and
roasted nuts, whilst Pinot Noir fruit shows delicate strawberry. The palate is well balanced with delicate fruit flavours, creaminess from the fine bead mousse and fresh acid. The wine finishes dry and light with lingering flavours of citrus and nougat.
Tasmania is renowned as Australia’s home of great quality sparkling wine. This Cuvée is made from wines grown on multiple sites in Tasmania, all producing excellent sparkling wine fruit. All batches are kept separate during winemaking to maximise blending options
and the complexity of the final wines. The wines go through secondary fermentation in bottles and are aged on yeast lees for as long as possible; the average tirage of the final blend is 2 years.

"Bright green-straw; the Tasmanian acidity immediately proclaimes its preserve, giving the wine freshness, fine citrus fruit and great length along with nutty/bready nuances. Curiously, no varieties specified."

"The current NV Jansz delivers a healthy dose of quality that elevates it well above the price. The nose carries fresh, zesty cool fruit
characters; peach and light red fruits, and gentle pastry-scented complexity too. The fine texture is superb on the palate: it’s super-fine, with citrus, apples and pear flavours, and finishes clean, fresh and elegant. Terrific."
Nick Stock, Good Wine Guide 2012
