2015 Vintage — Tasmania, Australia
House of Arras is Australia’s most awarded sparkling house, with winemaker Ed Carr at the helm — the country’s most decorated sparkling winemaker. Grand Vintage is the cornerstone of the range: a traditional-method blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Tasmania’s cool-climate vineyards (Pipers River, Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley and the East Coast), aged around seven years on tirage before release with a low 2.6 g/L dosage.
Medium straw in the glass with a fine, energetic bead. Expressive aromatics of white peach, green apple, pink grapefruit and pear layered with soft spice, grilled nuts and fresh brioche. The palate is taut and saline with honeycomb and pastry complexity, impressive tension and a long, biscuity finish. Decanter World Wine Awards 2026 — Gold (95 points).
