Jost Vineyards Great Big Friggin’ Red

$22.95 + HST

Big flavour from Nova Scotia’s wine pioneer.
From one of Nova Scotia’s earliest wineries, this limited-release red blend—Great Big Friggin’ Red—celebrates Canadian winemaking heritage with bold personality. Crafted under the watchful eye of head winemaker Gina Haverstock, the wine is aged in both Canadian oak and maple, which imparts rich aromas of caramel, mocha, toast, and a whisper of maple on the nose. 

Savvy Sommelier Tasting Notes:

Deep ruby in colour, this wine offers a supple and easy-drinking palate. Expect plush red fruit notes—blackberry, plum—with soft baking spices from its gentle oak influence. The finish is smooth, slightly sweet, and lingers with comforting mocha and wood-smoke warmth. Think of it as friendship in a bottle—perfect for sharing around fire pits or on summer patios here in Ontario, without needing to travel East.

We Suggest Pairing With:

This BBQ-best friend loves grilled meats—juicy burgers, barbecued ribs, or smoked brisket. It also pairs beautifully with hearty stews, wood-fired pizza, and robust Canadian cheeses. 

Alcohol: 12.5%  – it’s approachable yet expressive—a rare find among East Coast reds.

Out of stock

This big, bold red is crafted by Nova Scotia’s oldest and largest winery—Jost Vineyards, located on the Northumberland Shore in Malagash. Known for producing wines that showcase the cool-climate character of Nova Scotia, Jost brings a Canadian twist to this rich, robust red blend by aging it with Canadian oak.

Deep garnet in colour, the wine opens with indulgent aromas of dark berries, toasted oak, mocha, maple, and a hint of caramel. On the palate, it’s smooth, full-bodied, and velvety with flavours of ripe black cherry, cassis, and subtle notes of smoke and spice from the oak aging.

A crowd-pleasing red wine that stands up to BBQ fare, slow-cooked meats, or a juicy burger. As the name cheekily suggests—this is a Great Big Friggin’ Red worth stocking up on.
