SKU: ARRASBDBL14
A wine that truly expresses the elegance and sophistication of Tasmanian chardonnay when paired with meticulous winemaking and extensive aging in tirage. The House of Arras Blanc de Blancs is a tribute to chardonnay; a variety often considered the pinnacle of classic sparkling wine varieties for its elegance and longevity. A sophisticated Blanc de Blancs style that is always crafted from the best chardonnay of the vintage. Pristine chardonnay fruit was hand-picked and gently bunch pressed to ensure the extraction of the finest juice. Primary fermentation was in stainless steel (88%) and first use French oak barriques (12%), and then underwent malolactic fermentation to add further softness and character to the wine. After seven years of lees maturation the disgorged wine is completed with a tailored dosage to create a style of great sophistication and poise.

Palate

A densely structured wine with great presence and minerality. Flavours are reminiscent of baked Granny Smith apple, white peach, lime essence and brioche. The firm natural acid backbone melds all the characters together to express power, poise and a fantastic vibrancy.

Food Pairing

Fresh seafoods, natural or with a hint of exotic spice. Richer dishes with sauteed mushrooms, beef and chicken

”Abundant leesy complexity on display here with notes of green apple, fresh-baked apple pastries, complex autolysis hints, juicy white peach, dried honey, clotted cream, nougat and jasmine. Persistent and long with scintillating acid drive and toasty roasted nut and brioche notes entering on the finish. A picture of latent power and grace.”
