Lightfoot and Wolfville Terroir Series Kékfrankos 2020
Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaWhat the what?! Yup, Kékfrankos, from Nova Scotia. Aka blaufrankisch, or lemburger. Off their organic and biodynamically certified Oak Island Vineyard, this destemmed Kék was native fermented and aged 8 months in older French barriques. Pouring a deep, dusky purple hue, this lighter, earthy, wild red is full of thorns, dusky plum, red and black currant, and wild blackberry, on a crunchy palate ringed with downy tannins. There's an astringent balsamic rinse on the peppery, saline finish. Best with a chill. Certainly rustic, yet, inspiring to plant this classic and beloved Hungarian grape on the eastern reaches of Canada.
