Jansz
It could be argued we’re completely mad growing grapes in the wild and unforgivingly cold Tasmanian environment. But there’s méthode to our madness. The climatic conditions of the Jansz vineyard rival the famed French wine region of Champagne. In fact it was originally with French contribution that Jansz became Tasmania’s first sparkling made using the traditional Méthode. Today we call it Méthode Tasmanoise. It’s the essence of a partnership between the environment and our winemaker. Just as the cool Tasmanian climate creates spectacular beauty in nature it is also instrumental in the creation of art in bottles.
Description
Pale gold with a delicate bead and fine mousse. Intense aromas of honeysuckle, citrus zest, lemon curd and sea spray are overlaid with complex notes of sweet brioche, toast and nougat. The palate is elegantly structured with flavours of preserved lemon, white peach, wild strawberries, sea spray and truffle. Over three years ageing on yeast lees in bottle has built further complexity and subtle nuances of nougat and roasted hazelnuts. With a refreshing natural acidity on the finish, Jansz Tasmania Vintage Cuvée 2017 is a sparkling wine of finesse, power and elegance.
Food Pairing
Angel hair pasta with lemon, hazelnut and sage or lemon crème brûlée.
