L’Acadie
L’Acadie
Whispering Horse 2023 Les Galets
Canadian White
Peach, roasted hazelnut and honeysuckle form the aromatics. The palate is crisp and dry, with toast, stone fruit and a long saline finish. The wine is made entirely from L'Acadie grown on a half-acre parcel planted in twenty twelve over an ancient riverbed. It matures for four months in French oak. The estate is family-run in Yarrow, within British Columbia's Fraser Valley.
Lightfoot & Wolfville 2024 Flora
Canadian White
Made in Nova Scotia, this aromatic white blend brings ripe Asian pear, lychee and white peach together with lilac and violet. The palate is light-bodied, softly rounded and off-dry, with bright acidity and a graceful fruit-and-floral finish. L’Acadie, Petite Milo, Seyval, Geisenheim and Siegerrebe form the blend, and fermentation takes place entirely in stainless steel.
Whispering Horse 2023 L’Acadie
Canadian White
Nectarine, mandarin, gooseberry and white blossom lead, with fresh-cut grass adding a savoury edge. Fuller-bodied and juicier than a typical cool-climate white, it remains smooth and balanced on the palate. Stone and orchard fruit carry into a delicate saline finish, giving the wine breadth without losing freshness.
