The WildState Range

Jansz was Tasmania's first taste of serious sparkling wine ambition. Originally planted in 1975 as Heemskerk, the Pipers River vineyard caught the eye of Champagne house Louis Roederer in 1986, who partnered on Tasmania's first traditional method vintage sparkling. The Hill-Smith family, with over 165 years in Australian wine, bought the property in the late 1990s and renamed it Jansz after the Dutch explorer who first sighted Tasmania. Grown in the heart of what's known locally as "Sparkling Tasmania," Jansz's wines are made under a philosophy the winery calls Méthode Tasmanoise, its own take on Champagne's classic method, shaped entirely by the island's climate.

By Region

By Producer

Stick to One Corner of the Island

Every region in Tasmania grows something a little differently. Building a bundle around one region, say the Tamar Valley or the East Coast, is a way to really get to know a place, its soil, its climate, its particular way of making Pinot Noir or Riesling. It's less about variety and more about depth.

Get to Know a Variety Properly

Tasmania makes more than one style of Pinot Noir, more than one style of Riesling. Building a bundle around a single variety lets you taste how region, producer and approach can change the same grape into something completely different from bottle to bottle.

Follow One Winemaker's Range

Behind every label is a person making decisions, about the vineyard, the vintage, the style they're going for. Building a bundle around a single producer is a way to taste those decisions side by side and get a real sense of what makes their wine theirs.
