At the heart of every great wine region is an emblematic style that helps define what the region does best. Nova Scotia is blessed with an incredibly unique, coastal influenced terroir and cool climate that imparts a distinctive freshness and vibrancy in our wines. To showcase this, an official appellation – “Tidal Bay” – was created in 2012. The structure of this system is based on well-established European appellations, such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Vinho Verde, Soave, and Chianti, designed to help protect and promote the quality regional wines they represent. Strict viticultural and winemaking standards are regulated by an independent tasting panel. Tidal Bay wines are known for their bright acidity, light body, and signature aromatic profile, often with notes of green fruit, citrus and minerality that captures the essence of Nova Scotia’s coastal vineyards.

Certified organic by Ecocert Canada, our Tidal Bay blend is thoughtfully crafted from grapes grown in five family-farmed organic vineyards across the Annapolis Valley. Each site lends its own unique expression of Nova Scotia’s coastal terroir, contributing to a wine that is bright, balanced, and unmistakably of place. Fermented in stainless steel, the final blend captures the purity, freshness, and vibrant fruit character that define the Tidal Bay style.

Tasting Notes

Pale, luminous gold in the glass. The nose is expressive and fragrant, offering layered aromas of stone fruit, ripe melon, white blossom, and honeyed lime, accented by bright lemongrass and a subtle salt air minerality. On the palate, it is slightly off-dry with a juicy, mouthwatering core — flavours of nectarine, apricot, and lime zest mingle with coastal salinity and a delicate herbal lift. Fresh acidity provides balance and structure with a clean, crisp finish.

Enjoyable on its own as a refreshing summertime white or paired with green salads, cheese sauces and seafood - especially oysters, buttery lobster rolls and fresh crab.
