Often described as “Nova Scotia in a glass,” our 2013 Tidal Bay has been thoughtfully cellared and is showing beautifully lifted acidity and nuance. This lively, aromatic, and crisp white blend offers a rare opportunity to taste an aged Tidal Bay, revealing depth and complexity developed over time. Perfectly suited to the province’s hallmark seafood fare, each Tidal Bay is crafted to rigorous qualitative and stylistic standards, ensuring our unique terroir shines through in every bottle.

TASTING NOTES

Light golden color with subtle salmon reflections. On
the nose, notes of flowering citrus trees, bergamot,
rose hip and lemon zest complement a distinctive
minerality. On the palate, the wine shows true colors by
being decisively refreshing, with its suggestions of key
lime and candied mango.

FURTHER NOTES

Our 2012 Tidal Bay displays the crisp aromatics and
decisive freshness unique to the appellation, yet an
atypical growing season challenged us to do so with
this vintage.

The 2012 summer was unusually warm and dry which
resulted in higher than normal maturity and premature
ripeness in the fruit. To preserve the freshness, acidity
and cool climate qualities, we took a different approach
and included two vinifera varietals in the blend - 35%
Chardonnay and 14% Pinot Gris. These grapes ripen
later in the growing season and, therefore, in 2012,
provided the freshness we were in search of for Tidal
Bay.
