Benjamin Bridge is located in the heart of the Gaspereau Valley on the Bay of Fundy, where the cool climate bears an uncanny affinity with the Champagne region of France. The estate makes a range of wines; sparkling, white, red, rose, dry and sweet. Though the focus is on making world-class Méthode Classique sparkling wines that have been compared in tastings to Champagne. The hand crafted wines of Benjamin Bridge have helped raise the profile of the Nova Scotian wine industry.
Benjamin Bridge’s Nova 7 has become a Nova Scotian wine icon in just a short amount of time. It showcases the crispness, beautiful aromatics and signature acidity that are quickly becoming the defining characteristics of outstanding Nova Scotian wine. It is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif, at brunch, with friends on a sunny patio or paired with lightly spicy cuisine, fresh fruits or cheeses.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, a pale, translucent salmon hue with glistening highlights. The bouquet immediately unveils a captivating medley of orange blossom and fresh lychee, interwoven with hints of white peach and rose. On the palate, a generous wave of ripe apricot and tangerine zest is balanced by a crisp, minerally backbone that provides energy and freshness. The acidity is bright yet seamless, enhancing the lush texture and leading to a clean, lingering finish. Distinct aromatics in harmony with refreshing and vibrant natural acidity make Nova 7 a complex and delicate thirst quencher.
Method
Produced in the European spirit of lightly sparkling, off-dry wines. Though Nova 7 maintains a signature style year after year, it is a vintage wine that reflects its growing season. The wine is crafted from aromatic grapes that grow along the Bay of Fundy. This year’s vintage is embraces even more natural and artisinal elements in that the wine is fermented with wild yeasts that are indigenous to the vineyard and the wine’s sweetness is directly related to natural grape sugars.
Nova Scotia’s favourite wine made with a blend of Muscat, Ortega, Riesling, Geisenheim, l’Acadie, and Vidal.

Excellent. Can’t find it in Toronto. Was in Nova Scotia in August/2019. Taste it. Loved it. ♥️♥️?

I was not a fan of sparkling wines but this is a really nice wine to enjoy and I will purchase again.

No 7 No sulphites at harvest…but says sulphites on bottle???

Hi Paula,
Thanks for the comment! Although the winery may not add any sulphites after harvest/during the winemaking process, sulphites do occur naturally as they are a natural byproduct of fermentation. I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Ryan

Got this wine as a gift at Christmas and it has been mine and my wife’s go to especially when having pasta dishes. Let me know when there is a special promotion and I’ll stock up.
