Lightfoot & Wolfville Ancienne Pinot Noir (750ml)

Grown on the south-facing slopes of Lightfoot & Wolfville’s organic and biodynamic estate vineyard in Avonport (Dijon clones 115, 667, 777, 828, planted in 2012); sheltered by Bay of Fundy breezes and born out of meticulous viticultural effort. Canopy management practices in this block include cluster thinning, leaf thinning and shoot positioning, all by hand. The 2021 growing season was characterized by warm weather throughout the spring and summer months, combined with abundant rainfall, meaning yields were up slightly on average, but ripeness parameters were met.

Hand-harvested and hand-sorted.  Wild fermentation (20% whole cluster, 80% crushed and destemmed) was followed by 21-months aging in mostly used French oak. Bottled mid September the year after vintage.
