Jansz Single Vineyard chardonnay
Gift Box
Methode Tasmanoise
A statement single vineyard Jansz vintage sparkling wine expressing the power and purity of Chardonnay from our special vineyard in Pipers River. Deep, free-draining, ferrasol soils. Close proximity to Bass Strait combine to allow long, cool ripening that results in intensely flavoured fruit, balanced with lingering natural acidity. This elegant, handcrafted wine expresses terroir and variety in its purest form.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Above average spring temperatures and moderate rainfall produced good flower set and consequently above average bunch sizes.
Summer and autumn were mild allowing the grapes to reach maturity through an ideal long growing season.
A truly exceptional and rare wine, crafted from 100% Chardonnay. Sourced from our estate vineyard. Produced only in the very best vintages from the first pressings of select fruit. Each individually numbered bottle is a prize to be savoured, one of a tiny release of just 2,772 bottles.
Complex, savoury aromas of oyster shell, seaspray and preserved lemons are overlaid with notes of freshly baked bread. The palate
shows an elegant restraint. Honeycomb, brioche and crystallised lemon are complemented by a linear seam of seapray. This is a sophisticated savoury wine with a fine creamy nougat texture from extended time on tirage and long, chalky, mineral acidity.
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.
