This small lot bottling is a single-vineyard, Demeter-certified, barrel selection of just four 225L barrels from the 2021 growing season. Grown in the Lightfoot Home Farm Vineyard in Wolfville, where cool breezes help produce full flavoured Chardonnay grapes with great balance between freshness and flavour concentration. Barrel fermented in mostly used French oak barriques (25% new, 75% used / neutral) with wild yeasts and full malolactic fermentation. Aged 21 months sur lie prior to bottling mid September of 2023.
