2019 Vintage
From the winemaker:
Prestige Brut Estate is grown on our estate on the south side of Gaspereau Valley, planted in 2005 on deep schist, sandstone and gravels - an ancient seabed. A three-year terroir study conducted by French Bordeaux experts revealed that the grapevine roots are three feet deep in 2017, not surprising since they have worked for every inch. Cropping yield is naturally balanced with moderate vigour, and 2019 gave a low 1.5 tonnes/acre, 22 hectolitres per hectare. Aged 60 months sur lie and with its significant mineral backbone and freshness, it can age further in the bottle post-disgorgement to its 10th birthday. Traditional methods of hand riddling and disgorging to ensure utmost quality.
Toasty brioche aromas are dominant with signature mineral and a slight saline essence owing to the ancient seabed origins of our soil and proximity to the Bay of Fundy. This vintage also boasts characters of blood orange, pear, brioche and walnut.
