A mix of 69 per cent Chardonnay and 31 per cent Pinot Noir, the drop has spent an incredible 13 years on tirage, taking Australian sparkling to a level of texture and complexity that other producers rarely achieve.
Wine aficionados have shared glowing reviews about the wine online, with many declaring it’s the best sparking on the market.
‘This is a spectacular drop and right up there with the French bottles that cost two to three times more,’ one wrote.
And another added: ‘While above my normal price range… I finally succumbed and bought a couple of bottles for a special occasion. It is without doubt the best Aussie sparkling that we had ever tasted: simply elegant in all respects.’
A bottle of the House of Arras E.J. Carr Late Disgorged 2004 costs $265.95.
