The wine region of Nova Scotia
Canada's oldest wine region (vines since 1611), Atlantic peninsula with cool maritime climate tempered by Bay of Fundy tides. Tidal Bay signature flagship white appellation: lively and briny with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, fresh herbs and saline mineral hint, taut palate — the local expression, perfect on seafood. Acadie Blanc, fresh Seyval, chiseled Chardonnay. Excellent traditional method sparkling.
The word of the wine: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
