The House of Arras is a true expression of its origin and maker – a marriage of exceptional cold climate Tasmanian vineyards and uncompromising sparkling winemaking techniques mastered over decades. The Arras Grand Vintage is the fulfilment of a vision to craft world class sparkling wine. Enriched by the complexity of character that follows six years tirage, yet retains all the brilliant freshness and longevity that will continue to improve with age.

A blend of 69.6% pinot noir and 30.4% chardonnay with some reserve wines. A spectacular 9 years on tirage/lees. Salmon-pink. How can a wine of this age be as delicate, fresh and red-fruited as this. A knockout in every respect. Drink to: NA; Price: $105.00; Date Tasted: Sept 2019; Alcohol: 12.5%; Rating: 98 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion
