Crafted by chief winemaker Ed Carr, House of Arras Brut Elite Cuvée 1901 Rosé draws on pristine, cool-climate Tasmanian vineyards. This multi-vintage sparkling blends Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Extended tirage maturation builds textural depth and secondary character, bringing subtle sourdough and brioche notes beneath lifted red fruit drive. A low dosage preserves natural acidity and structural balance, leading to a firm, dry finish with clean persistence. Cuvée 1901 represents benchmark Tasmanian sparkling performance, delivering house style precision, prestige and remarkable value for your cellar or table.

Tasmania is producing world-class sparklings and this is one of the very best examples. Subtle complex and elegant it shows fine intense fruit with classic toasty creamy yeast character.

Made by Ed Carr arguably the best sparkling wine maker in Australia. The Arras Brut Elite is another success story for the House of Arras with its amazingly clean and elegant flavours and textures. This is a wine that express sheer quality.

We're really pleased by what we now find in the glass a fine, elegant, luxurious sparkling wine that is rich and complex in aroma and flavour, yet still retains the fundamental verve and freshness of the authentic non-vintage style. Its cool Tasmanian origins are as clear as a bell. The palate carries our region's Chardonnay-driven crisp, citrusy acidity which helps define the wine's classic structure and food-friendly character.

Candied fruit, straw and bready cracked-yeast characters are full and appetising to sniff. In the mouth, it's full and rich and loaded with toasty lees-age and pilot flavours, finishing nicely dry, with balanced soft acidity and plenty of verve with a sustained and satisfying finish. 'A refined, sophisticated sparkler with layered complexity and a zesty citrus element. An absolute gem!' - Bob Paulinski | Vintage Cellars Master of Wine.

Ageing for a minimum of 24 months on lees adds complexity to the fresh citrus, red apple and spring blossom aromas. The palate is crisp with a lingering, mouth-watering finish. A persistent fine bead and creamy mousse gives extra lift to these delicious aromas and flavours. Winemaking: Different parcels of fruit are all hand-picked and whole bunch pressed separately into tank for settling. Fermentation of these small batches lasts around 12 days and in 2012 only some parcels of wine were putthrough malo-lactic ferment to soften the acidity and add complexity. Others retained the full acidity to add tension and structure in the final blend. Food Match: Shellfish hors d-oeuvres
