Jansz : Tasmania's effervescent gem
In the world of sparkling wines, one name is steadily emerging as a benchmark for quality: Jansz Tasmania. This pioneering estate, located in the Pipers River region of Tasmania, has made a name for itself by producing exceptional sparkling wines crafted using the traditional méthode champenoise.
The origins of a sparkling adventure
The story of Jansz begins in 1975, when Graham Wiltshire, captivated by Tasmania's potential for sparkling wine production, established the Heemskerk vineyard. In the 1980s, the renowned Champagne house Louis Roederer, recognizing the climatic similarities between Tasmania and Champagne, joined the venture. Their centuries-old expertise in crafting fine bubbles brought a new level of sophistication to the project.
A remarkable terroir
Nestled in the Pipers River valley, Jansz's vineyard benefits from a unique maritime climate. Antarctic influences combined with the proximity to the ocean create ideal conditions for growing grapes destined for sparkling wine. The iron-rich basalt soils impart a distinctive minerality to the wines, adding depth and character.
The Tasmanian method
While staying true to the principles of the traditional méthode champenoise, Jansz has proudly developed what they call the "Tasmanian Method." This unique approach blends time-honored techniques with an authentic expression of Tasmania's terroir, resulting in sparkling wines with a distinctive personality.
A portfolio of excellence
Jansz offers a range of outstanding cuvées :
- Jansz Premium Cuvée : A harmonious blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, offering finesse and complexity.

- Vintage Collection : Produced only in exceptional years, this prestigious cuvée showcases the best of Jansz's craftsmanship.
Commitment to quality
At the heart of Jansz's philosophy is an unwavering commitment to quality. Grapes are hand-harvested in the early hours of the morning to preserve their freshness. The pressing process is gentle, and only the finest cuvées are selected for fermentation.
Innovation meets tradition
While Jansz deeply respects traditional methods, the estate is not afraid to innovate. Modern technologies in both the vineyard and the winery are employed to optimize quality while staying true to the authenticity of the terroir.
International recognition
Jansz's sparkling wines have earned well-deserved global acclaim. Regularly awarded in international competitions, they prove that Tasmania can produce world-class sparkling wines capable of rivaling the best.
