Lightfoot and Wolfville Ancienne Chardonnay 2018

Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaFrom their Home Farm Vineyard in Wolfville, this chardonnay is from 3 Dijon clones, and was native fermented in mostly neutral French barriques, with 18 months' aging on lees prior to bottling. Creamy and round, with a haunting floral note, this chardonnay feels much more expansive in the mouth than its 11% would imply. Creamy lemon, baked red apple, almond paste, flax is seasoned with toast, flax, downy lees, nutmeg, sharpened with green apple acidity, and finishing with with a lingering saline rinse. A complete, smart, welcoming chardy for enjoying now and over the next couple of years.Tasted: 08 October 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
