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.
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.
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.
TASTING NOTES:
The colour is pale gold with a delicate bead and fine mousse. The aroma is intense and complex
showing the beautiful synergy between Tasmanian Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The aromas are
of fresh citrus zest, almond nougat and freshly baked brioche, with underlying hints of hazelnut
and sea spray.
The palate is refined and elegant, with notes of preserved lemon, creme brulee, hazelnuts,
turkish delight and fresh strawberries.
