A deeply flavoured sparkling rose from Nova Scotia from one of the best producers of this style in the province. This is a blend of organically grown Marechal Foch and L'Acadie Blanc grapes, both Maritime hybrids. The wine is aged on its lees. Pair with NS lobster.

A lovely traditional method vintage sparkling wine from Nova Scotia. Small field strawberries, cranberry, and scones on the nose. Lively and balanced, with great fruit concentration on the palate.

Very pretty pale pink with nice bubbles. There is a faint plumminess on the nose and fresh citrus, a little brioche, following up on the palate. Nicely done and interesting use of these grape varieties.

Gwen Barton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Eye catching light peachy-pink hue on this east coast sparkling rose. Crisp, mouth watering acidity and lovely brioche and baked apple on nose and taste. Very gentle bubbles and lovely long finish. I could enjoy this with or without food.

A pretty pale salmon with aromas of strawberries, brioche, cranberries, hay, and a touch of Sherry. Good acidity, and flavours of apple and melon. A pretty pre-dinner sparkler.
