Rosés are ideal wines that fill the food pairing gap for those dishes that require a light, refreshing body, a little tannin and berry fruit aromas. Some of our favourite food pairings with our 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 fermenting it 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.

Nova Scotia’s climate is naturally suited to produce well-balanced and terroir-driven Traditional Method sparkling. Gaspereau Vineyards Non-vintage sparkling Cuvée is a blend of Vidal and Petite Milo, both grown on our estate along with a touch of Frontenac Gris. The wine expresses a fresh and mineral-driven nose of apple and citrus with an underlying complexity from the 2.5 years of lees contact while the bottles were in tirage. This brut sparkling has a mousse that is appropriately mouth-filling and with refreshing notes of apple and minerality on the mid-palate and a medium length finish.

Compass Rose also pairs well with an array of cheeses and serves well as an aperitif.

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.

Refined and subtle, Mercator’s Tidal Bay reflects the overarching style that Mercator wines encompass, expressing delicate notes of lemon curd and apple with nuances of spice and minerality.
