Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards

Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards grows grapes at Wolfville, in the Annapolis Valley appellation of Nova Scotia. It dates its founding to 2009.

Where it sits

Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards is at Wolfville, and its fruit falls inside Annapolis Valley, one of the recognised growing areas of Nova Scotia. What a geographic claim means on a label differs by province — the Canadian wineries page sets out how.

What it grows

The winery works with Chardonnay, Riesling, Gamay Noir, Kékfrankos and Chenin Blanc.

Where a grape has a page here, it covers how that variety behaves in Canadian conditions: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches, and where it is planted.

Vineyard area: 40 acres of vines on two sites.
