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.

GRAPE
Sauvignon Blanc, Solera Perpetual Reserve
In the glass, a shiny straw colour with a golden wheat hue. On the nose, a combination of citrus oils, bittersweet floral perfume, lime and tangerine are interlaced with saline coastal undertones. The palate is naturally plush yet dry, with an inherent softness and roundness coming from within. Suggestions of orange creamsicle, pear tart and freshly cut grass and botanicals make way for a vibrant, echoing finale.
Wild Rock is a completely new and unprecedented display of inherent roundness and softness; dry, yet anything but racy and angular. Expect this wine to convey extraordinary aromatic and textural depth, something that can only come from circumstances as rare and challenging as the Nova Scotian agricultural tour-de-force.

GRAPE
Chardonnay
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.

Cabernet Franc, Gamay
In the glass, opaque ruby colour with a purple hue. The nose immediately reveals an autumnal bouquet of dried bay leaves and ripe berries, supported by smoky undertones. The palate is now showing the perfect integration of power and tannins, with fresh herbs and a hint of cassis and fresh cherries. Silky yet structured, the wine seamlessly combines power and elegance and captivates with a long finish marked by elegant notes of earthy forest floor and spice.

GRAPE
GEISENHEIM, GAMAY
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.
