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 favorite food pairings with the 2021 Gaspereau Rosé include roast chicken or turkey, planked salmon, sushi and BBqued 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.

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.

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.

Our Gaspereau Vineyards Riesling has been honoured with a Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Nova Scotia Wine three times, highlighting the fact that quality Riesling grapes are grown in Nova Scotia and that these grapes are used to make some of the top wines in the province year over year.

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. 

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.
