2023 Tidal Bay
12 In Stock
It was a challenging year starting with a polar vortex causing winter damage to vines and then spring and
summer rains but our well-drained soil and organic practices gave us some resilience.
We planted predominantly L'Acadie Blanc on our estate because we were impressed early with its
flavours and saw potential of matching the unique gravelly terroir of our estate with sparkling wine.
Enhanced minerality and slight saline from ancient seabed schist, sandstone and slate is our own terroir
signature and getting more pronounced each year as the roots reach deep into our living soils teeming
with fungal populations to help vines accentuate uptake of nutrients and flavours. A perfect match for a
terroir-based wine like our Tidal Bay.
