Lightfoot and Wolfville Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 2012
Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaA hugely impressive inaugural release from one of Canada's most exciting wineries, this is estate chardonnay from Annapolis Valley. Fermented (70 percent MLF) in neutral French oak, this then spent five years on the lees before being disgorged with no dosage in January 2018. Very precise and focused, with fine chalky textural notes, light smoked stone, alluring saline, lemon pith / peel and lemon verbena. This linear wine has energy that hums along a lengthy finish and a lightness of being which belies expectations. Feels entirely maritime Nova Scotian, and will soon be an icon winery for Annapolis.Tasted: 05 December 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:NS | $65.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
