The perfect aperitif sparkling wine. From one of the world's top sparkling wine regions Tasmania, this is probably Australia's top bubbly. The nose is complex and has ripe citrus characteristics and fine, persistent bubbles. The palate is delicate with a crisp citrus fruit character laced with a hint of summer berries and finishes long, dry and clean. It's really hard to beat and other sparkling wines at the same price will pale in comparison.

In the northeast corner of Australia's southern island state is a wine region so perfect for creating sparkling wine that it has captured the interest of world-renowned Champagne houses such as Louis Roederer of Reims, France, who believed that the climate of the area was ideal for the production of finely structured méthode champenoise and helped establish the vineyard that would become Jansz Tasmania. The Hill Smith family shared the belief and purchased Jansz from Pipers Brook Vineyard in 1998.

With a climate very close to that of Champagne, this region is known simply as 'Sparkling Tasmania'. The Jansz vineyards lie in the Tamar Valley at the heart of Tasmania’s Pipers River region - the very centre of 'Sparkling Tasmania'.

With a mantle of red basalt soils and a cool climate moderated by the proximity of Bass Strait, the Jansz Tasmania vineyards are ideal for allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop the lingering acidity essential to produce a premium sparkling wine. Under the Hill Smith family guidance, Jansz Tasmania has evolved to become known as the benchmark Australian sparkling wine.
