Local Gifts For the Holiday Season
Wines from Nova Scotia are perfect for the holiday season.
Our white and sparkling wines tend to be packed with fresh acidity and minerality, perfect alongside dishes like in-season lobster, oysters, cod, and other briney delicacies. Canada’s first wine appellation, Tidal Bay, is made with these exact pairings in mind so whether it be warm and sunny out or cold and wet, a bottle of something from NS is never a bad choice. Whatever you choose this holiday, something local is never a bad choice. You won’t be disappointed.
“The winemaking team at Lightfoot & Wolfville have been on the forefront of excellent Chardonnay in Nova Scotia ever since the release of the Ancienne lineup, beginning with the 2013 vintage. The 2020 release, however, is on a whole other level – so invitingly ripe, with perfectly integrated oak, crunchy minerality and mouthwatering acidity. There’s been murmurs in the industry that this is one of the best non-sparkling wines ever crafted in Nova Scotia. While it’s drinking exceptionally well right now, all signs point to this being one for the cellar… If you’ve got the patience.”
