Bay of Fires was born of a desire by BRL Hardy to make cool climate wines of classical structure, combining fruit intensity with refinement, complexity and persistence of flavour. Tasmania's latitude and island status was identified and with its unique climates more closely resembling the classic winegrowing regions of France this has been achieved. Arras is the flagship wine produced by Bay of Fires Winery. 100% Tasmanian, the wine aims to capture a sense of place; the true essence of Tasmania. As with the Bay of Fires range, fruit for Arras is sourced across Tasmania, taking advantage of diverse viticultural conditions and enabling the selection of only the most premium parcels from each region. The extreme cool climate of the Bay of Fires property allows maximum flavour retention through the long slow ripening season. The grapes are hand picked and pressed in close proximity to the vineyards to ensure optimum quality is maintained. Traditional sparkling wine techniques were utilised throughout to enhance the fruits natural qualities. One hundred percent of the base wine underwent malolactic fermentation and the wine was aged on yeast lees. Patience and careful handling have been rewarded with a sparkling wine of the finest calibre. Like the luxurious tapestries from which it takes its name, Arras, Australia's prestige sparkling wine, is skillfully woven together from a blend of Chardonnay 61.5% and Pinot Noir 38.5%. This sparkling wine is a medium straw colour with a gentle green/gold hue. Pristine clarity and a fine, persistent bead further enhances the aesthetics of this wine. Lifted mushroom/truffle and lanolin bouquet typical of aged cold climate Chardonnay, it is complimented by white stone-fruit aromas of Pinot Noir underpinned by yeast complexity. Elegance and persistence of flavour are the key factors to the fine, soft and complex palate. Arras finishes dry with a crisp natural acid finish. Limited Availability. (6 x 75 cl)
