Description

The Blanc de Blanc from Ed Carr showcases the examplary Chardonnay fruit produced by House of Arras and its growers.

With extended time on lees before release, this vintage cuvee sits right in the upper echelon of sparkling wines in Australia.

It shows power and complex layers of ripe stone fruit and toasty pastry-like nuances with a long and persistent finish.

An elegant and nuanced depcition of Tasmanian sparkling that will continue to improve with time in bottle.

"Mouth-filling yet precise and true with a real sense of tension and a gorgeous chalky textural sheen. Bright acidity provides the pulse, and the wine shows great length of flavour and persistence."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

96 points - "98.8/1.2% chardonnay/pinot noir from Tasmania's East Coast, Derwent Valley, Pipers River and Coal River Valley. On tirage seven years, dosage 2.5g/L. Pale straw in the glass with the slightest green tinge and a superfine bead and mousse. Aromas of green apple, grapefruit and white peach cut with hints of white flowers, lemon curd, freshly baked brioche, oyster shell, clotted cream and mushroom tea. Mouth-filling yet precise and true with a real sense of tension and a gorgeous chalky textural sheen. Bright acidity provides the pulse, and the wine shows great length of flavour and persistence." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 points - "Bright, medium-light yellow colour with a powerful, pungent bouquet of toasted hazelnut, buttered sweet-corn/popcorn chardonnay and malolactic characters, a note of silage/fermented hay, the palate tense and very dry, delicate and lean in its profile. A bit bony but very much a blanc de blancs style." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

This sparkling wine truly expresses the attributes of premium Tasmanian Chardonnay fruit, meticulous winemaking and extensive years on lees.
