Benjamin Bridge Rosé 2011
Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaA new release from Canada's most acclaimed sparkling producer, the 2011 Rosé harkens the confidence and finesse of Champagne, but with a crisp, linear cut and saline marine freshness that sings Nova Scotia. Light florals, roses, subtle toast and stone aromas are the entry to a bright, delicate and focussed palate, one light and subtle but with ample fluidity of cherry, stone and a whiff of cinnamon spicing on the lengthy finish. I appreciate the leanness and fine structure of this 11.5 percent bubble, equal parts pinot meunier and pinot noir, with a 15 percent splash of chardonnay that has spent two years on the lees. Disgorged July 2014 and drinking well now (enjoyed with wine dressed moules frites) but will reward with 3-5 years time.Tasted: 19 August 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| NS | $45.00 | 750ml |
