Nova Scotia’s cool climate and ocean influenced terroir provide the ideal conditions for expressive aromatic whites and lively sparkling wines. Lightfoot & Wolfville’s Bubbly White celebrates the essence of both these signature styles as a fresh, fragrant, Germanic-inspired aromatic sparkling.  

Secondary fermentation of Bubbly White takes places via the Charmat Method; in a customized, stainless steel pressure tank, providing a delicate, persistent effervescence. Given the desired style for this aromatic sparkling, lees contact time is kept relatively short to preserve the freshness and purity of the primary fruit character.

A non-vintage wine, Bubbly White is a blend of multiple vintages to ensure a consistent style, quality level and sustainable production practices, regardless of variation in growing conditions from year to year.

Tasting Notes

Pale gold in the glass with a light, lively effervescence. On the nose, fragrant, expressive notes of white blossom and honeyed tree fruit, pear and peach, are accented by hints of lemongrass and raw ginger. The fresh fruit flavours carry over to the palate, with lush, ripe melon balanced by refreshing citrus.

Bubbly White serves well as an apéritif, alongside casual picnic lunch or brunch fare, or when paired with Thai-inspired dishes with light to medium spice, such as Pad Thai or curries.
