Benjamin Bridge Brut (750ml)

The 2019 season marked a recovery from the devastating late spring frost of 2018. A cooler spring delayed bud break, which helped protect the vines from frost but required a warm, dry summer to ensure optimal grape ripeness. Fortunately, the summer delivered, especially benefiting the Chardonnay vines in the Gaspereau vineyards. Early fall brought sunny days and cool nights, preserving the natural acidity that is so characteristic of our coastal wines. Inspired by the grower Champagne movement, the 2019 Brut was aged in 600L French demi-muids, undergoing full malolactic fermentation to enhance texture and depth.

In contrast to the 2020 Brut Rosé, this single-variety Blanc de Blancs is made from 100% Chardonnay. The high acidity allows for extended ageing on lees, contributing to a creamy texture and complex autolytic flavours while maintaining vibrant freshness. The Gaspereau Valley’s cool climate and unique soil composition mirror Champagne’s Côte des Blancs, creating a terroir that enhances the refined acidity and delicate flavours characteristic of high-quality Blanc de Blancs.  100% Chardonnay harvested at 19ºBx and aged 4 years on the lees. 

It is dry at just 3 g/L RS of dosage.
