House of Arras and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra have much in common – dedication, precision, excellence and a sole focus on mastering their craft.

From the climate in which they are grown to how they are handcrafted, House of Arras sparkling wines have much in common with the world’s finest Champagnes and sparkling wines.

We invite you to join the EJ Carr Wine Club and become a valued member of the House of Arras community, with guaranteed access to exclusive sparkling wines.

House of Arras chief winemaker Ed Carr has been presented with the highest award bestowed by the Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships in England. Carr last week received the Lifetime Achievement Award, the only non-Champagne winemaker to be so honoured.

House of Arras is releasing its first-ever magnums to capitalise on Australia's growing obsession with wow-factor bottles. Winemaker Ed Carr is excited to finally introduce his Arras magnums to wine lovers.

Sparkling wine is one of Tasmania’s great strengths, and this year’s bubbly classes at the Tasmanian Wine Show were as strong as usual. The House of Arras dominated, especially in the older-vintage classes.

Pinot meunier is known as the lesser of the three Champagne grape varieties, but Arras chief winemaker Ed Carr is a fan. “We’re planting all the available land at Bay of Fires with meunier now,” Ed said.

“These awards have topped a superlative year for House of Arras. Such endorsement across a broad range of judges is an absolute statement of quality and the entire viticulture and winemaking team is extremely proud of this achievement,” says Carr.
