This lovely, light-bodied Nova Scotia rose is made from the Pinot Meunier grape. Aromas of small strawberries and field berries. Racy acidity for seafood and shellfish. Great aperitif, too.

Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Beautiful floral aromatics. Lovely strawberry flavours with more than a touch of residual sugar. Not hugely complex but easy to enjoy on a warm summer afternoon. Impressive and highly recommended.
Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Light, gorgeously fragrant Rose from Lightfoot and Wolfville Vineyards. Citrus and crisp orchard fruit with sliced peaches at the back. Brisk acidity, offering a perfect sunny day accompaniment. Pair with anything at the beach! 90 points. - tasted November 2018
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Wow! Acidity. Mouthwatering isn’t a large enough expression of acidity to describe what happened in my mouth when I tasted this wine. Tart with an impressive balance of big fruit and big acidity with low tannins and medium body. Pair with seared tuna. Tasted 2017 vintage in July 2018. 90 points

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
