2016 Vintage — Tasmania, Australia
House of Arras is Australia’s most awarded sparkling house, led by Ed Carr, the nation’s most decorated sparkling winemaker. The Grand Vintage 2016 is a classic expression of vineyard, vintage and maker — 65% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir from cool-climate Tasmania, aged for years on tirage with an exceptionally low 2 g/L dosage.
An intriguingly complex, mineral palate with notes of honey cake, lemon meringue and sautéed mushroom, showing great viscosity and maturity of character. A fine, persistent mousse and a long, savoury finish.
