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 a limited number of individually numbered bottles (plus magnums).

Tasting note: A generous, mouth-filling wine from a warm year. While it makes a gorgeous aperitif served with a variety of hors d'oeuvres the 2015 Vintage Brut has enough complexity and heft to accompany hearty dishes through-out the meal up to and including cheeses and dessert.

Blanc de Blancs

Literally, a white wine made from a white grape variety or varieties. The singular is quite deliberate. These wines celebrate Chardonnay.

Rosés

There are many ways to make pink rosé wines and thus, numerous styles. The 2019 Brut Rosé is a multi-regional blend, that has been dosaged after six years maturation.

2019 Brut Rosé

2019 Brut Rosé

Grapes: Pinot Noir 60%, Chardonnay 40%

Vineyards: Multi-regional blend primarily Coal River Valley (Tolpuddle, Uplands) and NW Tasmanian (White Rock).

850 bottles. Over 80% allocated prior to release.
Almost six years on lees, disgorged July-August 2025, 2.0 g/L dosage, 11.2% ABV.
Tasting note: A chameleon of a wine. Pretty pale salmon in hue. Chardonnay provides a firm savoury framework for voluptuous red berry fruit, pink blossom and lip-smacking autolytic characters. In the mouth, the wine opens up to a generous mid-palate of quince, tangy crushed raspberries and strawberries, toast and almond croissant. Giving way to a long dry, oyster-shell finish.
