Introducing the debut of a new cuvée from Australia’s sparkling leader, House of Arras. Founded by Ed Carr, the visionary winemaker who redefined Australian sparkling wine, Arras has long set the standard for quality and complexity, rivalling the best in the world.
The Brut Elite Rosé is a multi-vintage blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier from Tasmania’s pristine, cool-climate vineyards, showcasing elegant red fruit, wild strawberry, and delicate floral notes. Extended tirage ageing imparts fine mousse and fresh acidity, creating a seamless, refined profile.
The Brut Elite Rosé Cuvée 1801 is already award-winning, taking home the Trophy for Best Sparkling Rosé at the 2023 Australian Sparkling Wine Show. House of Arras continues to lead in Australian sparkling under Carr’s expertise, crafting wines that reflect Tasmania’s rich terroir and enduring excellence.

"The inaugural release of this wine for House of Arras... Super focused and complex with an array of gentle spice and pastry notes coming into play, slowly fading on a long, savoury finish. Excellent poise and tension throughout with minerally drive galore and a captivating 'sucking on a river stone' sapidity and textural ache on the exit. A great first-up release."

"Pale salmon-pink with a tinge of purple; the bouquet is beautifully balanced and subtly complex, with dried-herb, dried-mushroom aromas while the palate is superbly full and rich and fluffy-textured, round and yet refined, the finish cleansingly dry and long-lasting. A smashing rosé fizz."
