Gold medal winner at 2003 Intervin International

Only the best Marechal Foch grapes grown in Nova Scotia were chosen by Jost Vineyards to produce our premier Port style red wine. It has a rich, full bodied, fruit character which lingers on the palate. Jost Vineyards Port is the perfect accompaniment to good friends and good food. It is ready for drinking now but will age gracefully for many years to come.

Jost Vineyard’s  2005 Muscat IceWine was made from Nova Scotia Grown New York Muscat grapes that had frozen on the vine. Harvested and pressed in December 2005 while temperatures hovered between -8C to -14C, only a few sweet drops of juice from each berry (high in sugar, flavour and balance giving acidity) were extracted and then carefully vinted under cool conditions. The unique dessert wine that emerged has complex flavours and fragrances full of apricot and citrus just waiting to be enjoyed.

Double Gold Medal Winner at the 2009 Tasters Guild International

The grapes used to produce Jost Vineyards Double Gold Medal Award Winning 2007 Vidal Icewine were grown in the Warner Vineyard in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. During the coldest mornings of December 2007 (temperatures between -8 C and -14 C) the frozen grapes were harvested and pressed. The pressing yielded a golden nectar which was high in sugar, flavour and balance giving acidity. A cool, slow fermentation resulted in a very complex, full bodied dessert wine.
