House of Arras Brut Rose Cuvee 1801 NV

Founded by sparkling specialist Ed Carr, House of Arras sources only from Tasmania's coolest vineyards to capture purity and finesse.

For Cuvee 1801 Rose, 64% Pinot Noir, 27.4% Chardonnay and 8.6% Meunier are selected, with each variety contributing distinct fruit and structure. Grapes are gently pressed and base wines fermented in stainless steel, then blended and bottled for a traditional method second fermentation.

Extended lees ageing - four years in bottle - builds complexity and a creamy mousse. The wine is finished extra-brut, with a dosage of just 2.5 g/L, preserving brisk acidity and precision. On release, it shows a delicate pink colour, lifted aromas of wild strawberry, blood orange and subtle spice, and a refined, savoury palate with notes of red berries, chalk and brioche. The finish is persistent, dry and fresh, making it a benchmark for Australian rosé sparkling.
