House of Arras is celebrating 25 years of 100 per cent Tasmanian winemaking and the 10th consecutive vintage of its E.J.Carr Late Disgorged Vintage Sparkling. The sparkling wine producer has also launched its 2022 Global Release collection.
House of Arras Chief Winemaker Ed Carr said the collection continues the house’s original vision for Australian sparkling wine.
“This release exemplifies the various aspects of this vision and shows the complexity and longevity that can result from careful decisions from vineyard selection to release,” said Carr.
Testament to this commitment, the 2022 release celebrates 25 years that House of Arras has been sourcing fruit and crafting sparkling wine in Tasmania.
“For a quarter of a century, we have taken time to understand the ‘rich tapestry’ that makes up the Tasmania terroir, and this year is both a celebration and expression of this relationship”, said Carr.
This concept of regional ‘tapestry’ continues at the viticultural level, where vineyards in the five different regions – covering inland, coastal, warm and dry, to cool and wet regions – have been further divided into blocks and managed to express the particular characteristics that make up the component wines for the House of Arras cuvees.
The 2022 launch also celebrates the 10th consecutive release of the House of Arras E.J. Carr 2007 Late Disgorged Vintage.
“This label was first released with the 1998 vintage and this is the 10th consecutive Late Disgorged wine to go to market. This wine was aged on lees in tirage for 14 years,” said Carr.
