Jansz Premium Vintage Rose from Tasmania.
VINTAGE ROSÉ 2017
Established in 1986, Jansz Tasmania specialises in crafting luxury sparkling wines from Tasmania. Australian owned by the Hill-Smith family since 1998, the vineyard was named Jansz Tasmania, paying homage to Abel Janszoon Tasman who first sighted the island in 1642. Proudly Tasmanian. Crafted from the finest blocks of Pinot Noir in our estate vineyard at Pipers River, this is a wine of pure indulgence for both our winemaker and the astute wine drinker. Rare, lauded and made from 100% Tasmanian Pinot Noir, our Vintage Rosé is a complex, elegant and delightful wine.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Above average rainfall in winter with a cool, wet spring and below average temperatures through November resulted in late flowering and reduced yields. December saw a return to warmer day temperatures with very cool nights, remaining warm and dry until late autumn. Perfect weather to allow long, even ripening while retaining beautiful natural acidity in the grapes. An outstanding quality vintage.
TERROIR/PROVENANCE/REGION
Crafted from the finest blocks of Pinot Noir in our estate vineyard at Pipers River. Within the gently undulating vineyard is a small area on top of the hill that faces north and overlooks Bass Strait. Its location combined with deep, free-draining ferrasol soils, enables long, cool ripening that produces intensely flavoured fruit, balanced with lingering natural acidity.
TASTING NOTES
Pale, blush pink in colour. Aromatic notes of fresh raspberries and rose petals overlaid with aromas of fresh baked brioche, rose water and a hint of truffles. The refined, elegant structure is in perfect balance with the subtle creamy texture and richness of the mid-palate. Luscious Turkish delight and berry compote, complexed with notes of roasted almond nougat, brioche and shaved truffles. Fine tannins derived from fermentation and maturation in aged oak barrels complement the fine, creamy texture on the mid-palate and natural acidity which extends to a lingering, refreshing finish.

WINEMAKING
The grapes were handled gently during harvest and in the winery. Fermentation in aged French oak barrels for seven
months is followed by tirage and secondary fermentation in
bottle. The wine was disgorged after two and half years of
ageing on lees to develop complexity and sophistication.
Jansz Premium Vintage Rose is made by Methode Tasmanoise which delivers a superb sparkling adventure.

“Just three words describe the thinking behind Jansz Tasmania. Time. Patience. Discipline.
The wine embraces all three in equal measure. Time, patience and discipline spent nurturing the vines and their precious fruit. Time, patience and discipline awaiting the perfect moment for picking. Time, patience and discipline in the winery as years are devoted to making the wine with painstaking care and attention.
The vineyards lie in the Tamar Valley along the Northern Tasmanian route at the heart of Tasmania’s Pipers River region, an area known worldwide as “”Sparkling Tasmania””. With a mantle of red basalt soils and a cool climate moderated by its close proximity to the ocean, it is ideal for the slow ripening of fruit and lingering acidity so essential to the production of premium sparkling wine. In fact, the area’s climate so resembled Champagne and Burgundy that several leading French Champagne houses considered basing new operations there.”
“The famous grape of Burgundy. The classic style is medium colour, with fragrant berry, violet and gamey-earthy aromas, and soft, full sweet berry flavours, with velvety tannins.
This variety is most suited to a long cool growing season that are found in southern Victoria (noteable Yarra Valley), Adelaide Hills of South Australia, and southern regions of Western Australia.”
