Compass Rosé is a classic Provence-style Rosé, made from our finest local grapes and expressing our unique terroir.

Compass Rosé also pairs well with an array of cheeses and serves well as an aperitif.

Upper Ridge Marquette is an elegant red wine made from 100% Nova Scotian grown Marquette grapes and expresses notes of black cherry and integrated oak with hints of leather. It has an obvious freshness yet exhibits a depth of flavour attributed to its aging time in mature oak barrels. This wine has a style reminiscent of Old World Pinot Noir.

In 2018, we began our endeavour into creating a Muscat dessert wine in the appassimento method (drying the grapes prior to fermentation). With great success in the outcome, we continued the process in 2019. This luscious, not-too-sweet dessert wine is a blend of those two remarkable vintages.

Mercator Reserve Chardonnay 2021 is an elegant, cool-climate Chardonnay with integrated notes of apple and tropical fruit and nuances of toasted oak and vanilla.

The 2017 Mercator Sauvage is a wine made from a blend of Nova Scotian grown Petite Milo and Chardonnay. The grapes were allowed to spontaneously ferment in French oak barrels, using only the wild yeast naturally present on the grapes. The word Sauvage translates to ‘wild’ in English. The wine was aged ‘sur lie’ with a regimented stirring routine to enhance the weight and complexity of the wine. Notes of lemon curd, brioche and an integrated high note of toasted oak are present on the nose. There is a notable mid-palate weight without compromising the freshness and minerality on the finish. Sauvage can be enjoyed now or cellared for further aging.
