Lightfoot and Wolfville Brut Blanc de Blancs Sparkling 2019

Tasting Notes

Surely more richness from the 2019 Brut and still the cool interpretation of the Annapolis Valley's maritime climate. You must consider this amazement of success from a place that resides at the furthest edge of viticultural promise. 'It's challenging' says Josh Horton, 'and we're starting to see the odd hot vintage' which this wine somehow expresses. 'Chardonnay checks all the boxes for us, acidity, structure, complexity and versatility, not to mention walking right through a winter with a polar vortex.' Brut 2019 is fleshier and balanced, ripe and zesty. Yes, angularity can be beautiful. Drink 2025-2029. Tasted at i4C, July 2025. Score - 92. (Michael Godel, winealign.com)
