Benjamin Bridge Vineyards

About Winery and Wines

In little more than a decade, Benjamin Bridge has distinguished itself by its dedication to time proven techniques, expert guidance, and most importantly its acclaimed, distinctive wines. The Benjamin Bridge vineyards are located in the heart of the Gaspereau Valley on the Bay of Fundy, where the cool climate bears an uncanny affinity with the Champagne region of France. Our experienced winemakers work in collaboration with international experts to produce world-class Méthode Classique sparkling wines and limited edition luxury wines. Our innovative sparkling wines display the hallmarks of classic prestige cuvées from Champagne, but with a Nova Scotia signature. “They are, without question, the best sparkling wines I have tasted in Canada,” says Tony Aspler, Canada’s most renowned wine authority. Our collection of hand crafted fine wines, including perennial sell-out Nova 7, together with our sparkling wine program, have helped raise the profile of Nova Scotia terroir and its winemaking in Canada and internationally.

At Benjamin Bridge, the concept of terroir — wines that reflect the personality of the land — drives everything we create. We believe great wines are made in the vineyard, where the expression of our land and climate begin. Vineyard manager Scott Savoy and his team nurture the natural strengths of our estate by using certified organic growing practices, letting nothing artificial come between the land and the berry. Rigorous attention during harvest, including hand-selection of fruit into small bins, protects our grapes’ integrity for winemaking, further ensuring our artisan wines are true reflections of place. We work with select grape growers in the Annapolis Valley that share our passion and dedication for quality in the vineyard. The Benjamin Bridge estate is comprised of an expanding 40+ acre vineyard on our 140-acre property on the Gaspereau River with predominantly vitis vinifera varieties planted. In 2015 we became the first winery in Nova Scotia to adopt high density planting techniques to further our quality pursuits.
