Winemaking and Analysis:

To make Tidal Bay, the wine must meet strict and recognized official standards and regulations, in the vineyard, as well as cellar. Some key ones include: 

- All the grapes must be 100% grown in Nova Scotia

- The flavour profile is a fresh, crisp, ‘dryish’ white with a bright ‘signature Nova Scotia’ aromatic component.

- The primary grapes (which must, alone or in combination, make up the majority of the blend) are l’Acadie, Seyval, Vidal & Geisenheim 318

- Secondary grapes (optional, but must not, alone or in combination, make up more than 49% of the final blend) including varietals such as Ortega, Chardonnay, Riesling, etc.

- Tertiary grapes (optional, but must not, alone or in combination, make up more than 15% of the final blend) are aromatic varietals such as New York Muscat, Siegerrebe, etc. 

- Main focus of style is on aromatic, lower alcohol wines with crisp acidity.

All Tidal Bays are tasted blind and either passed/failed by an expert Sensory Evaluation Panel (to ensure they fit the ‘stylistic parameters’ of Tidal Bay), before legal usage of the name is permitted.
