Jansz NV Sparkling Rosé

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 Tasmaniose.

Winemaking / Viticulture: Tasmania is renowned as Australia’s home of great quality sparkling wine. The Jansz Tasmania Premium NV Rosé is made from grapes 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 is two years with some batches being aged for up to five years.

Vintage Conditions: Jansz Tasmania Premium NV Rosé is a vibrant pink, reminiscent of rosewater and salmon. It has a lifted nose showing delicate rose petal and Turkish delight
from the Pinot fruit, and fresh cream and nougat from the malolactic fermentation and extended aging on lees. The wine has a well balanced palate, with layers of strawberry fruit and creamy fine mousse. It finishes crisp and dry with zingy acid matched by lingering flavours of nougat, rose petal and citrus.
