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.

With a fruit-driven nose backed by vanilla and spice, a balanced backbone of acidity and moderate tannin, the Lucie Kuhlmann makes an ideal companion for robust beef or lamb dishes, Osso Bucco and many tomato-based Italian dishes.

New York Muscat, Nova Scotia’s most aromatic grape variety was used to make this slightly pink-in-colour wine. The grape itself is purple skinned but the flesh inside the grapes is clear. To extract as much of the aromatics as possible from the skins (where most of the aromatics in the grape variety concentrate), we employ a cold maceration or cold soak of the skins, seeds and juice. What this does is allows the aromatics of the skins to move to the juice. What also happens is that there is a movement as well of the color from the skins to the juice. This is why the Muscat has a copper/pink color.

Gaspereau Red is a small lot red made from a unique blend of the classic Nova Scotia grape varieties including Marechal Foch, Triomphe D’Alsace and Lucie Kuhlmann. The wines were fermented in individual batches, blended then aged in both French and Hungarian oak barrels for 13 months. With a balance of both strength and elegance, this red is an ideal food wine, pairing well with slow roasted meats, tomato-based pasta dishes and an array of BBqued dishes.

Gaspereau Vineyards has been making award-winning Riesling since 2006. We believe Riesling has a unique ability to convey both a strong sense of place and deliver undeniable Riesling characteristics. Our Riesling conveys both attributes, with notes of fresh apple and a distinct minerality. The wine finishes complex and dry.

Rosés are ideal wines that fill the food pairing gap for those dishes that require a light and refreshing body, a little tannin and delicate fruit aromas. Some of our favourite food pairings with Gaspereau Rosé include roast chicken or turkey, planked salmon, sushi and barbecued sausages.  Because Rosé is made by using the juice of red grape varieties and is then fermented like a white wine, Rosé is the perfect wine to balance between red and white.

Aromatic-driven and expressive, Gaspereau’s Tidal Bay expresses floral notes and tropical fruit along with a minerality and brightness that persists throughout the entire tasting experience.

Our Gaspereau Vineyards Reserve Riesling has been honoured with a 2024 Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Nova Scotia Wine. This wine has a notable freshness on the palate with notes of lime and brioche and a hint of lightly toasted oak. It is a complex Riesling that is dryer and more complex than our regular Riesling and is why it was designated as a RESERVE Riesling. 

AS SEEN ON THE TONIGHT SHOW! Full-bodied and with a hint of impulsiveness, award-winning 4 SKINS combines a carefully selected blend of four grapes fermented on their skins to create a one-of-a-kind wine.

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.

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.
