Benjamin Bridge, Brut, 2013, Traditional Method, Canadian Sparkling

ABOUT THE WINE. In little more than a decade, Benjamin Bridge has distinguished itself by its dedication to time-proven techniques, expertise, and most importantly to its acclaimed, distinctive wines. Located in the Gaspereau Valley in Nova Scotia, the vines benefit from the moderating influence of the Bay of Fundy, resulting in a climate remarkably similar to that found in Champagne.. TASTING NOTES. Butter and honey aromas, with plenty of citrus. The palate shows almonds, baked apple and creamy lemon-tart, with a mineral flourish to the finish.. FOOD PAIRING. Grilled salmon and rice, clams spaghetti with creme fraiche, pancakes and strawberries.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. A product for those who love champagne, and are feeling a little adventurous...
