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 pale straw colour with a platinum hue. On the nose, assertive hints of acacia honey and raw beeswax are enhanced by subtle and elegant floral undertones. On the palate, the wine is youthful and vibrant, with lively suggestions of lime zest, toasted almonds and baked green apples. The finish lingers with persistence, showcasing the wine’s substantial depth and textural density.
