The sparkling wine Arras Brut Elite Cuvée 1601 from the winery House of Arras has been rated in 2021 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier from the region Tasmania in Australia.
The initially reductive nose opens up to reveal gently tart notes, almost salty lemon and corn husks. On the palate, the wine shows typical Tasmanian vivacity, with wonderful energy and leanness. There's a gentle autolytic hinterland and more of that lemony, zesty intensity, while the fine bubbles remain lively and spirited. An exquisite aperitif with a high refreshment factor.
