Benjamin Bridge

In lockstep with our earliest mission of being a sustainable, trailblazing, and forward-thinking farm winery, we unveiled our latest innovation last week. Introducing our Wild Rock collection of wines in a 3L bag-in-box format. With consumer value and sustainability benefits woven in, this is an exciting step forward for our farm winery in rethinking the future of wine.

We’re excited to unveil our latest innovation: our Wild Rock collection of wines in 3L bag-in-box format. Many of you reading may be here for our méthode classique sparkling wines, the backbone of our portfolio and driving vision since our beginning in 1999. So while this announcement may surprise you, rest assured, we’re not abandoning our roots. Our next ultra-premium, laser precision, extended lees aged sparkler is in the cellar now, awaiting its upcoming release. In lockstep with our earliest mission of being a sustainable, trailblazing, and forward-thinking farm winery, our efforts of inclusivity and innovation only make those rare, inimitable sparklings all the more meaningful. We are no longer simply Canada’s sparkling wine house; we are defined by a tight-knit collective of people at Benjamin Bridge who believe in a common goal of making an impact on our local community, our region, and our generation. Our vehicle for positive social change is a purpose-driven agri-business that produces sparkling wine, and we’re delighted to share our latest chapter in that story. This recyclable packaging reduces carbon emissions by up to 90% in comparison to traditional glass, offers freshness for four weeks after opening, and holds the equivalent of 4 bottles—all without compromising on the quality you've come to expect from Benjamin Bridge. This move is more than a new way to enjoy our products; it’s a step forward in rethinking the future of wine. Enjoy the same delicious Wild Rock White, Rosé and (coming in time for the holidays) Red, now in a format that's better for the planet and perfect for gatherings.

Grateful to have our friends at the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation visit and lend a hand with harvest! It's always lovely to have the opportunity to connect and spend time with some of our most valued partners right here at our farm winery.

Please give a warm Benjamin Bridge welcome to our new senior winemaker! Meet Ryan Corrigan. Hailing from the Toronto area, Ryan began on a path studying medicine but felt pulled to the wine industry, and soon switched his formal studies to winemaking at Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute at Brock University. During his time at CCOVI Ryan was selected to study abroad in Switzerland, Italy, and France, before working harvests in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Ryan returned to Canada in 2012, working as a winemaker in Niagara for over 12 years before the opportunity to connect with Benjamin Bridge presented itself. His draw to BB was "the charismatic team behind the innovative and thoughtful brand" and the challenge of learning a new, fascinating terroir. He joined our tight knit team this summer working alongside head winemaker Jean-Benoit, and is "excited to learn the intricacies of one of the worlds most promising new wine regions and continue the tradition of growth and discovery that Benjamin Bridge has established". We couldn't be more excited to announce his arrival, and welcome he and his young family into our circle.

Our local farm wine industry is at risk because of government policies that subsidize foreign wine imports over Nova Scotia's own farm wineries and grape growers. An official statement from WGNS is posted at the link below. https://lnkd.in/eq8j4xGT Please also visit savenswines.ca to learn more and take action to support our local producers.

Our friends at Glooscap First Nation and Luckett Vineyards have entered into an important skills training and educational partnership with the intention of helping to better connect access and education between Glooscap and the Nova Scotia farm wine industry.

Monday, September 30th, is Truth and Reconciliation Day, a day which holds significance as a time to pause and reflect. In honour of Truth and Reconciliation Day, Treaty Day, and Mi'kmaq History Month, beginning next week, we’re highlighting our Glooscap First Nation x Benjamin Bridge Rosé. This rosé, from selecting the wine style and varieties used to blending and label design, was a true collaboration between Benjamin Bridge and Glooscap's Chief, Council, and community members. Through many conversations, we explored and tasted together to create our first venture in this allyship. The wine reflects the friendship and mutual desire for a future grounded in this holistic vision of sustainability. 50% of the profits from this wine directly support Glooscap’s community, funding meaningful initiatives for their members, with Benjamin Bridge covering all production costs. Our Glooscap First Nation Rosé is available year-round through our winery and valued retail partners, including Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation. However, this is a particularly important time to spotlight this wine—symbolising peace and friendship—as we pause to reflect.

We're proud to sponsor Beat Beethoven, happening October 23rd in Halifax! We’ll be cheering on all the runners and celebrating their achievements at the finish line. See you there!
