New Joie de Vivre Club
Joie de Vivre: the joy of living
Our newest wine club is finally here! From our Nova Scotia winery, the premier producer of sparkling wine, comes new Joie de Vivre Wine Club for those who love the fresh, creamy effervescence of charmat method sparkling wine.

Perfect for a quiet night in or a celebratory weekend with friends, our Joie de Vivre & La Vie en Rose have become fast favourites for lovers of Canadian wine- certified Biocyclic Vegan wine & organic wine!

Sparkling Club for August
August is wine club shipment month and winemaker Bruce Ewert introduces the organic vegan wines that Sparkling Club members will be receiving.
We have three wine clubs, Sparkling Club, L'Acadie Club and Star Club, for those that prefer to choose their own wines.
Wine Library Releases
Library Releases
Aged wines from cool climates are ideal for exploring
Our wine library is extensive and delicious. We hold back bottles from every vintage and age them in ideal conditions for our own reference and for periodic library releases to wine club members and key wine accounts. Past releases include 10-year aged Estate L’Acadie to show off how these minerality-dominant dry organic wines age and develop, our cool climate consistently granting a seamless longevity statement every vintage, and 10-year aged appassimento reds with tannins and flavours of their youth developing into supple tannins with dried fruit and jammy directions, yes jammy, a descriptor usually reserved for hot climate reds. 2014 Estate L’Acadie and 2012 Passito are currently available at Peacock Wine Bar in Halifax. Traditional method sparklings tend to develop richer characters when aged on cork and we have 2007 Prestige Brut Estate planned for a release. Best way for updates is receiving our newsletter.
This year our Gaspereau winery will be releasing 2008 Alchemy from the library exclusively for wine club members. Alchemy was Nova Scotia's first appassimento Amarone-style red, a worthy style for our cool-climate region, and refers to early scientists, or alchemists, searching to transform ordinary metals into gold. We did 5 years of research with Italian researchers and Kentville Research Centre to hone our grape drying technique and our inaugural release of the 2006 vintage won gold at the All-Canadian Wine Championships, quite fitting. 2008 Alchemy is an exceptional red wine carefully aged on cork for 14 years after 2 years in barrel and boasts complex, developed flavours of black cherry, toasted oak, & licorice.
