Jansz Premium Cuvee 750ml

Jansz Premium Cuvée is a non-vintage sparkling wine from Tasmania, made from Champagne's classic grapes, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Batches from cool-climate sites across the north and south of the island are selected and blended, and every vineyard that supplies Jansz is grown specifically for sparkling wine. The wine spends eighteen months on lees before release. 12% alcohol.

Wine Enthusiast gave it 93 points and called it "a tasty drop at a bargain price" from "Australia's most famous Tasmanian sparkling producer", with lemon, apple and pear fruit set against brioche notes from the yeast. James Suckling scored it 90, noting apples, fresh citrus, preserved lemons, steely acidity and a bright finish. The winemakers find honeysuckle and citrus, a little nougat and roasted nut, and a sniff of strawberry from the Pinot Noir, with delicate fruit and creaminess through the palate.

Open it as an aperitif, with oysters, or with anything fried. Ralph's imports Jansz direct for Metro Manila delivery.
