Product Description

WINERY INFORMATION

The Jansz wine estate is situated in Pipers Brook, Tasmania. Their name pays homage to the Dutch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman, who first sighted the island of Tasmania in the year 1642. The Hill-Smith family purchased the property in 1997 and uplifted the status of this winery to one of the most acclaimed sparkling wine producers in Australia.

TASTING NOTES

With winter rains, healthy and wholesome grapevines protruded out of the soil at the Jansz vineyard. Grapes were picked from a single block in the vineyard, the whole bunch pressed, and fermented and aged in French oak barriques with more than five years on lees. This extensive winemaking procedure resulted in the creation of an elegant Chardonnay wine displaying pale gold colours with an exceptional bead. The lifted bouquet gives out scents of truffles, oyster shells and preserved lemons coupled with underlying nuances of honey nougat and Amaretti biscuits. The complex and intense palate is an amalgam of brioche, roast almond nougat and crystallised lemon nuances that balance the chalky minerality and creamy texture of the wine to provide a refreshing and lengthy climax. The wine possesses an alcohol content of 12% and is a great pairing with whole baked snapper with ginger and citrus.
