There are inevitable perils to the high-risk, high-reward decision to make transparent wines faithful to their individual growing seasons. For each plentiful and uneventful year, comes the lows and pendulum swings of the more challenging vintages. When faced with adversity, there are always opportunities to adapt by crafting wines stylistically coherent or by building on the uniqueness of a vintage, such as 2019. After a series of two of the most opulent growing years in recent memory (2016 and 2017), we were hit with the spring frost of 2018, followed by Hurricane Dorian in September 2019. The impact of the latter had a stylistic impact on the wines that, depending on the perspective, could be seen as a blessing. For those missing the nostalgic taste of the legendary wines made in the early years of Benjamin Bridge, Hurricane Dorian stunted the spike in sugars and rapid decline in acidity characteristic of the warmer vintages of recent climatic shifts. Although this wine went through the same richness-inducing technical journey as all our recent sparkling wines (french oak ageing and full malolactic fermentation), a region-definition sense of freshness and vibrancy prevailed, echoing our long-lost climatic past. Historically, a predictable correlation always existed between higher acidity and the longevity of our wines, suggesting this rose could live an exceptionally long life in the cellar.
