In 1988, Ed Carr embarked on a journey to craft an exceptional Australian sparkling wine, equal to the world’s best. In 1995, House of Arras was founded; the name ‘Arras’ means ‘rich tapestry’. House of Arras is Australia’s most awarded sparkling wine brand with over 110 trophies and more than 290 gold medals to date.
Ed Carr’s relentless pursuit of excellence, fueled by passion, skill, and unwavering determination, has cemented his legacy as a pivotal figure in elevating Australian sparkling wine onto the global stage. This recognition was underscored by his prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine Championships 2018, a unique honor bestowed upon him as the sole non-Champagne winemaker. This accolade serves as a powerful testament to the world-class caliber of House of Arras wines.
