Jansz Vineyard lies in the Tamar Valley at the heart of the Pipers River region in northeastern Tasmania. With a mantle of red basalt soils and cool climate moderated by the proximity of Bass Strait, the vines are ideal for allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop the lingering acidity essential to produce world class sparkling. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are hand harvested, separately treated to barrel ferments, lees stirring and malolactic, achieving distinctive creaminess and successive layers of fruit on the palate. Vintage wines of exceptional quality are chosen to be held for at least seven years on yeast lees to develop into the richest, deeply layered, complex sparkling wines.
