Family owned and operated, Domaine de Grand Pré winery was built on love and passion for Nova Scotia and exceptional wine and food. Hanspeter Stutz, owner and father, is a visionary who first took a leap of faith in 1994, trusting that something special could be established to grow the Nova Scotia wine industry. He wanted to create a world-class destination while building a future for his family. Hanspeter’s children and their partners manage the vineyards, the winery, the restaurant Le Caveau, and an inn that opened in 2022. Jurg Stutz is the winemaker at the estate and crafts polished and elegant wines year after year. The Domaine is known for its crisp and clean flavour profile and they pride themselves in using only 100 per cent Nova Scotian grown grapes.
Tasting Notes
Rich, dense and deeply pigmented, this wine offers inviting herbaceous aromas of caraway and black pepper. A wine of distinction, it offers an expressive nose, complex full body and a balanced palate of ripe fruit and integrated tannins. This bold wine is especially well suited to grilled beef, game meats, caramelized onions or roasted root vegetables.
Method
Castel is a French American hybrid grape variety that contains genes from Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. It was crossed in in France by the breeder Pierre Castel. It is an early-maturing grape that produces dark-coloured, alcohol-rich red wines. Today, it is cultivated in small quantities in Canadian wine growing regions.
