This single vineyard Pinot Noir was hand harvested from naturally low-yielding vines on the Lightfoot & Wolfville estate vineyard in Avonport, NS - the Oak Island vineyard. It was fermented indigenously, and cellared 18 months in French oak. Pale ruby in colour, the nose is a vibrant cherry, with floral and herbal undertones. The fruitiness is accompanied by an earthy minerality on the palate. A silky-smooth, elegant structure. Only 130 cases made.
