Lightfoot And Wolfville Blanc De Blancs Sparkling 2019 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 94/100

Lightfoot and Wolfville Blanc de Blancs Brut from Nova Scotia is a vibrant, light to medium-bodied sparkling wine offering aromas of tangy citrus peel, ripe stone fruit, and hints of crushed oyster shell. This is a Blanc de Blancs, made from 100% Chardonnay, thus the moniker blanc de blancs (white wine from white grapes). It's dry with fine bubbles and energetic acidity. This sparkling wine is made using Méthode Traditionnelle or the traditional method of the second fermentation in the bottle, just as they do in the Champagne region. Serve it well chilled with steamed lobster as the wine's crisp minerality and saline character will enhance the sweet, tender meat beautifully, or pair it with oysters on the half shell where the wine's bright acidity and sea-breeze finish will complement the briny shellfish perfectly. Winemaker Josh Horton, a native of the Annapolis Valley who grew up in Avonport and completed the Winery and Viticulture Technician program at Niagara College before returning home, works alongside consulting winemaker Peter Gamble to craft this wine. The Lightfoot family has been farming in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley for eight generations, originally arriving from Northern England where their forebears worked as messengers (thus the surname Lightfoot), and today they practice biodynamic and organic farming on vineyards overlooking the Bay of Fundy, where the world's highest tides create ideal growing conditions for cool-climate wines. Enjoy from 2025 or cellar for 2-4 years.

Blanc De Blancs Sparkling food pairings: steamed lobster, oysters on the half shell, smoked salmon canapés.
