Bay of Fires is the sister house to Arras, crafted by Australian sparkling front man Ed Carr. There’s nothing to declare its glorious maturity on the label, but based on the 2006 vintage, this blend has enjoyed an astonishing nine years on lees. It retains an impressively bright, pale straw hue considering, but there is no mistaking its maturity on the nose and palate, singing with all the joy of bready, nutty complexity and waves of mouth-filling texture. For all this jubilation, it upholds its pinot-led substance and the acid line and lemon and apple fruit of its cool Tasmanian origins. The only question is why they can’t sell it faster.

... matured on yeast lees for an average of three years, yet seemingly not bottle-fermented. It is vibrant and very tangy/zesty, with pith and cherry stone characters, and a dry finish.
