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: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
