Rich, flavoursome wine with chocolate box, strawberry and citrus flavours plus a savoury brioche/bready influence. Mouth filling wine with character. Good food wine.

Bright green-straw; the Tasmanian acidity immediately proclaims its preserve, giving the wine freshness, fine citrus fruit and great length along with nutty/bready nuances. Curiously, no varieties specified. Drink to 2011.

The Heemskerk Vineyard was established in 1975 in the heart of the Pipers River region and is the birthplace of Jansz Tasmania.
In 1986, Heemskerk was joined by the esteemed Champagne producer Louis Roederer of Reims, France in their pursuit of the definitive Australian sparkling wine. Louis Roederer shared the belief that the climate of the area - so similar to that of the classic wine regions of Burgundy and Champagne - was ideal for the production of finely structured methode champenoise.
The Jansz Premium NV Cuvée is based upon Jansz wines of several vintages. Specially selected and crafted individual batches from cool climate locations in Tasmania form this wine. Every site used to source grapes is specifically designated to growing fruit for sparkling wine.
