There's really only two words you need to know when it comes to this brilliant bubbly from Tasmania.
One is 'Ed'.
The other is 'Carr'.
Ed Carr is Australian sparkling wines Bradman, Pelé and Black Caviar rolled into one. Nobody has done more to elevate the status of Australia's sparkling wines and if the guy had been born French there would be a bloody big statue of him next to the cathedral in Reims.
Think we're exaggerating? Then open one bottle of this, marvel at the balance and poise, at the depth of flavour and the freshness of finish and you'll quickly see we haven't gone far enough.

| Winery Information |
For more than a decade, the House of Arras team has been identifying and developing the ideal vineyard sites for world class sparkling wine. This journey has led the House of Arras to call the ancient soils and cold climate of Tasmania home. Its climate is significantly cooler than the mainland, with long summer daylight and maritime influences, which are Ideal conditions for long, slow and consistent fruit development. Only the very best parcels of Tasmanian chardonnay and pinot noir are selected for House of Arras, carefully handled in separate batches and made into wine each vintage before being blended and left to mature and develop their own special nuances over many years. |
