Tasting Notes
Despite almost 8 years on yeast lees the second disgorgement of the 2012 Blanc de Blanc is the palest green-gold in hue. Clean and fresh as an alpine meadow with aromas of lime blossom, lemon curd, pretty white florals, crunchy green apples and savoury notes of toasted almonds and wet stones. The dosage of a mere 2.5 g/L highlights the wines delicacy and detail. With loads of finesse the palate is long and satisfying with a dry, almost saline finish. A very youthful eight year old! Drink and enjoy over the next decade or so. Especially good with any char-grilled or pan-fried white-fleshed , fresh seafood or salt-crusted pork and mushrooms. - Winemaker Note
Fascinated by sparkling wine the decision to specialise in making it came naturally. In 2010 Henskens Rankin of Tasmania was founded with just two tonne of fruit in tiny parcels and a vision of creating distinctively Tasmanian styles of sparkling. Based in nipaluna Hobart, exceptional fruit fruit is sourced from sustainablility-minded growers throughout the island.
The approach to winemaking is deliberately small-scale and artisanal, always seeking to maximise quality. Doing crazy things carefully.
Unashamedly luxurious, Henskens Rankin of Tasmania is founded on the principle that luxury is ethical. This guides the winemaking and choice of partners. It extends to every aspect of the business, particularly the supply chain: wherever possible materials are ethically-sourced and packaging re-useable, compostable and/or recyclable. From 2020 all Henskens Rankin wines are completely vegan friendly. It’s a journey in progress.
