Jansz Premium Cuvee

Jansz Premium Cuvée Non Vintage Sparkling, Tasmania, Australia 

Grapes: A Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend with two years cellaring and as much time as possible on its lees beforehand creates a wine with structure.

Producer Tasting Note:

Honeysuckle and citrus scents are immediately apparent with slight aromas of nougat, roasted nuts and a sniff of strawberry from the Pinot Noir. Delicate fruits and creaminess wash through the mouth leaving a lingering finish of citrus and nougat.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Jansz Tasmania is closing in on 40 years of production, and it has been a proven, reliable producer year after year. The fruit is sourced from selected cool climate vineyards from the Pipers River and Tamar Valley regions in the north, to the Coal River Valley in the south. Each batch is kept separate until the blend, roughly a 66/34 chardonnay/ pinot noir mix. The nose is a taut affair of orchard fruits with lemon zest and honeysuckle. The palate has terrific tension, wild strawberries, and bright acidity, tempered by creamy textures and hazelnuts at the finish. It's released with a minimum of three months of bottle age after it is disgorged. Oysters, anyone?"

90/100 points, Anthony Gismondi, GISMONDI ON WINE, April 2024

"Grapefruit, green apples and lemon sherbet on the nose of this crisp, tangy sparkling. It’s light- to medium-bodied with fine bubbles and a balanced, refreshing finish. Drink now."

James Suckling, May 2025

Food Match: The local Tassie curried scallop pie, other seafood including oysters, smoked salmon, fried calamari, plus olives and soft cheeses (such as Brie & Camenbert), goat's cheese tart
