Benjamin Bridge Tidal Bay 2013
Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaTidal Bay is not only the name for this wine (and many others from Nova Scotia), it is the first wine appellation for Nova Scotia, launched in 2012. These crisp, aromatic white wines must all follow the same set of standards, though the finished wines are all quite different from one another. Benjamin Bridge's is a blend of l'acadie blanc, chardonnay, ortega and new york muscat, presenting with late summer meadow flowers and stone, before a lean and juicy palate of focussed lime, granny smith apple and dynamic, chalky acidity. The finish is gentle roses and a touch of elastic. Surprising concentration here - especially for its 10.5% alcohol - contributed to the addition of structured, mineral-strong chardonnay. Shellfish is a natural here.Tasted: 10 April 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
