Tasting Notes
Eight years on yeast lees, six months under cork. Characteristically fine bubbles, delicate nose of fresh lemon, raw pastry dough, green apple and white peach blossom joined as it ages with savoury nutty flavours, ground almonds, a clean salinity and a hint of caramelised pecans, vanilla, peaches, lemon curd and mouth-watering acidity. - 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.
