Jansz Parish Vineyard at Penna in the Coal River Valley, has been awarded the Royal Agricultural Society of Tasmania 2018 Tasmanian Vineyard of the Year award.
With some 60 hectares under vines, the vineyard is the southern base for the production of quality grapes for Jansz Tasmania sparkling wines, Parish Vineyard Riesling and Dalrymple wines.
As well as being awarded Vineyard of the Year, Jansz Parish Vineyard won the Most Improved Category in a program which this year for the first time was partnered with Wine Tasmania’s best practice management program, VinZero.
Judges were impressed by a very carefully devised nutrition program which provides for a good canopy and replacement of nutrients removed with the varying crop loads. The carefully developed “low impact” disease and pest control programs have also achieved good results with quality fruit being hand harvested for Jansz Tasmania wines.
The weed control program provides for both herbicide application and mechanical forms of under vine vegetation removal with the use of innovative machinery.
