At the heart of every great wine region is an emblematic style that helps define what they do best. Nova Scotia is blessed with an incredibly unique, coastal influenced, cool-climate terroir that imparts a distinctive freshness and vibrancy in our wines. To showcase this, an official appellation – “Tidal Bay” – was created in 2012. The structure 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 grape-growing and winemaking standards are regulated by an independent tasting panel.
