Tasting Notes
Tasting note: Deep salmon blush. A sophisticated aperitif-style of Rosé. Elegantly long, dry and complex, Aromas of red berries and cherry, quince, dried rose petals and herbs. A fresh palate of red berry fruits, quince paste with a zing of raspberry sherbet on the mid-palate overlay savoury/umami characters derived from the 7-year sojourn on yeast lees. The firm acid line and thrust of tannin compliment a lightly textured mouthfeel to give a refined, balanced palate and lingering, satisfyingly dry, moreish finish. Seriously frivolous. - 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.
