Arras Sparkling Vintage Blanc de Blanc 2015

Made entirely from Tasmanian Chardonnay, the Arras Blanc de Blancs 2015 combines the precision and freshness of cool-climate fruit with the complexity that comes from extended bottle ageing. Chardonnay is sourced from Tasmania's East Coast, Derwent Valley, Coal River Valley and Pipers River.

Bright lemon, grapefruit and white peach lead the way, with a subtle mineral edge and hints of baked apple. Six years ageing on lees brings greater depth through the mid-palate, adding brioche, pastry and creamy textures while retaining the purity and energy of the Chardonnay. A small portion is barrel fermented, adding further complexity without overwhelming the fruit.

The finish is long, very dry and finely structured, with persistent citrus, mineral acidity and a beautifully fine bead. With a dosage of just 2.5g/L, this is a powerful yet elegant Blanc de Blancs that shows just how serious Tasmanian sparkling wine can be.

Food Match: Fresh oysters, scallops, lobster or sashimi. Also excellent with richer seafood dishes where the wine's acidity can cut through butter or cream.

Region: Tasmania Multi-Regional
