Vintages New Release Collection – July 19, 2025

DISCOVER MORE For another example of Nova Scotia’s winemaking prowess, check out the Blomidon Brut Réserve Sparkling 2016 in our July Cellar Collection. Blomidon Estate Winery was founded in 2007 when the vineyard (first planted in 1986 and home to many of the province’s oldest vines) was purchased by the Ramey family. The complex apple, lemon and spice notes of the Brut Réserve 2016 saw this sparkler awarded the 2023 Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Nova Scotia Wines.

The Atlantic Ocean, and more directly the Bay of Fundy (home to the world’s highest tides), ensure cool temperatures, which help create the high levels of natural acidity needed for sparkling-wine production. Nova Scotia’s boutique- based wine industry is centered in the clay, sand and gravel soils of the Annapolis Valley. The Gaspereau Valley region is within the Annapolis Valley and follows the Gaspereau River east to west to the Bay of Fundy. Nova Scotia has one appellation wine: Tidal Bay, its signature white. Though each winery may develop their own unique take, strict rules of production and a rigorous evaluation process ensure that these wines reflect a distinct, consistent flavour profile. Bright, zesty and fresh, Nova Scotia’s sparkling, white and red wines are ideal for summer entertaining and dining.
