93 points “Attractively floral with red berries lightly spiced pastry bread dough and lemons as well as some lightly chalky notes. Really fresh and subtly complex. The palate has a fine texture with freshly sliced apples a mere hint of honey strawberries some clotted cream and a smooth build to the finish.” – James Suckling
Jansz Tasmania Vintage Cuvée 2015 is crafted from some of the finest fruit produced on the island.

Pop the cork to discover a world of lemon curd sweet brioche white peach strawberry sorbet tarte Tatin rose petals nougat toasted hazelnuts whipped cream and refreshing sea spray. Consider pairing with homemade ravioli and sage butter spring vegetable risotto doused in lemon juice and sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts anything in romesco sauce or lemony desserts.
Proudly Tasmanian Jansz Tasmania was established in 1986 and named in homage to the Dutch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman who was the first European to lay eyes on the island in 1642. The region’s likeness to Champagne captured the imagination of Heemskerk Wines and the Champagne house Louis Roederer (producers of the iconic Cristal) who embarked on creating premium Australian sparkling wine there. Alongside the likes of House of Arras the pioneering Jansz sets the benchmark for Australian sparkling wine and the brand was instrumental in putting Tasmania on the wine world’s radar. Now owned by the Australian Hill-Smith family Jansz Tasmania – rated as a five-star winery by James Halliday’s Wine Companion – continue to make world-class wines using the traditional Méthode Champenoise.
