Lightfoot & Wolfville is owned and operated by the Lightfoot family who have been farming in the Annapolis Valley for eight generations. Lightfoot & Wolfville brings a light touch and enlightened approach to both the agricultural and artisanal aspects of viticulture and winemaking. They work in harmony with nature and letting the land offer up its innate best, without subjecting it to aggressive inputs. The winery is located on the home farm site, this land has been in Michael’s family for four generations.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold with fine, lively bubbles in the glass. On the nose, notes of lemon zest, oyster shell and crushed stones are accented by hints of buttered brioche. On the palate, toasty lees flavours and a textured mousse bring a sense of richness to the backbone of freshness.
Pairing suggestions include gougéres, lobster on brioche with green apple slaw, root vegetable terrine, oysters with verjus and creamed mushrooms on toast.
Method
The 2019 Lightfoot & Wolfville Brut is composed of 100% Nova Scotia Chardonnay. The cooler-than-average growing season in 2019 contributed to its remarkable freshness, vibrant brilliance and clear, refined flavours.
All grapes were hand-harvested and whole cluster pressed. Primary fermentation of the base wine took place in stainless steel to preserve purity of the primary fruit character, while a full malolactic fermentation imparted a creamy texture and roundness on the mid-palate. Bottled on May 7th 2020 for secondary fermentation in bottle and aged 46 months on lees. Disgorged March 13th of 2024.
