Wine
Bay of Fires Arras Brut Elite Cuvée is a sparkling blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, all hand harvested from the winery's Tasmanian vineyards.
The fruit is whole bunch pressed with only the best juice fractions taken. Most ferments in stainless steel, with a small portion in first and second use French oak. Malolactic fermentation follows.
Though made mostly from a single vintage, small amounts of other vintages ensure complexity and a consistent style. After secondary fermentation in bottle, the wine matures for four years on lees.
Straw yellow, Bay of Fires Arras Brut Elite Cuvée has rich red fruit flavours, velvety texture and a backbone of natural acidity. Best soon after release.
