BRIDGE
Benjamin Bridge was established in 1999 by Gerry McConnell and the late Dara Gordon. The winery is located in the heart of the Gaspereau Valley on the Bay of Fundy, an area who’s cool climate is strikingly similar to the Champagne region of France, making it the perfect place to produce their world-class Méthode Classique sparkling wines. Today Gerry and Dara’s twin daughters Ashley & Devon McConnell-Gordon lead a small family-like team alongside chief innovator and head winemaker, Jean-Benoit Deslauriers. Their use of regenerative farming & low intervention winemaking practices has resulted in a remarkable collection of wines that represent the distinct and unique terroir of Nova Scotia.

On the palate, a myriad of lively citrus notes is brightened by, creating the most refreshing balance between hints of zesty lime and a delicate touch of maritime salt. Gluten-free & vegan friendly

This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. In the glass, deep straw colour with a canary hue. On the nose, an evocative bouquet of tangerine oil, pastry, lemon confit and marzipan is supported by bright suggestions of sea minerals. On the palate, an effortless and elegant frame filled with structure and density is complemented by notes of lime blossom and crème de cassis. A persistent finish lingers elegantly with reverberating hints of white flowers with toasted almonds.

In the glass, a hazy golden colour with a flaxen hue. On the nose, hints of orange confit and kafir lime are complicated by mineral notes of crushed rocks. The palate is airy; a weightless wine once again channeling fresh suggestions of lemon zest and grapefruit oil. More exotic and tropical notes emerge on a persistent finish.
