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 rubescent pink colour with crystalline reflections. On the nose, hints of mango puree and ripe juicy Georgia summer peaches are energized by zesty notes of key lime sorbet. On the palate, the wine refreshes immediately, with a vibrant combination of honeysuckle, lemon cream, and a touch of spring floral blossoms.
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.
The 2022 vintage is a blend of varietal composition of Muscat, Ortega, Riesling, Geisenheim, l’Acadie, and Vidal. The folks at Benjamin Bridge are very proud of the 2022 Nova 7; stating that it strikes the perfect balance between natural vibrant acidity and fragrant floral aromatics. This wine is to be celebrated as an achievement in low-intervention winemaking, featuring no sulphites at harvest, wild fermentations, and the lowest possible interference between your glass and the vineyard.

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

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
