Benjamin Bridge vineyards are 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.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, a golden wheat colour with a straw hue. On the nose, a complex primary bouquet offers up a blend of apple, lime peel, alpine botanicals, fresh pastry, and smoke. On the palate, the wine is deep and full-bodied, with notes of pastry cream, candied ginger, and poached plum leading to a very long and seamlessly balanced finish.
Method
The 2017 Brut is 100% Chardonnay harvested at 19 19ºBx and aged 4 years on the lees. It is dry at just 3 g/L RS of dosage.
Recommended drinking: 2022-2026
