Welcome to Henskens Rankin of Tasmania

Founded in 2010 to create luxurious sparkling wines evocative of Tasmania lutruwita.

Vintage Brut

The Vintage Brut is blended from small parcels of fruit from vineyards, tended by sustainability-minded growers, across the island. These wines express the complex identity of each declared vintage. A snapshot of Tasmania lutruwita, if you will.

Made to retain their freshness, these wines spend a minimum of six years on yeast lees with further aging under cork. Each release is limited to 2500 individually numbered bottles (plus magnums).

Released after almost seven years on yeast lees and a further two years under cork.

2015 D2 Brut Rosé pre-order.

2015 D2 Brut Rosé pre-order.

Single vineyard: Orani (Coal River Valley). 100 % Pinot Noir.

350 bottles produced.
With five years on yeast-lees and another five under cork, expect to see this delicate but tensile wine ease into generosity and fulsome red fruit aromas and flavours as it ages.
Tasting note: A pure, single vineyard, expression of Southern Tasmanian Pinot Noir, the 2015 D2 Brut Rosé is a sophisticated aperitif-style of Rosé. Fresh, taut and lean in contradiction of its 10 years of age, expect it to open out to the elegant generosity which typifies the year. It is long, dry and complex with aromas of raspberries, cranberries, ripe peach, cherry and alpine herbs. A fresh, fine palate of red berry fruits with a zing of raspberry sherbet on the mid-palate overlay umami characters derived from the 5-year sojourn on yeast lees followed by another five years under cork. The firm acid line and thrust of tannin compliment a delicately textured mouthfeel to give a focused, refined, balanced palate and lingering, dry satisfyingly, moreish finish. Once again, a seriously frivolous rosé. Only 350 bottles. Pre-order now
