There is growing global interest in cool climate wines, especially in the UK, and this is what makes Nova Scotia wine unique. Much like Nova Scotia’s famous rising tides, Canadian wine is rising in profile and the clean crisp wines of Nova Scotia are at the forefront. L’Acadie Vineyards has been influential as the cool climate wine region’s pioneer in organic and sparkling wine production and is one of the best Canadian wines available in the UK.
L’Acadie Vineyards was established in 2004 in Gaspereau Valley Nova Scotia by experienced Canadian sparkling winemaker Bruce Ewert and family. The world’s best wines come from organic living soils and they pioneered organic sparkling wine from Canada as Nova Scotia’s premier producer of sparkling wine. They planted mainly L’Acadie Blanc, the region’s signature grape variety named after the rich Acadian history, and also the winery’s namesake. They are leaders in organic and vegan wine production to honour the health of people, our planet and all living things.
Their award-winning sparkling wines and still wines have garnered key international wine awards include multiple consecutive Decanter World Wine Awards including gold medal and 95 points, and silver medals at Effervescents du Monde in France.
Signature wine styles are traditional method and charmat method sparkling wines including Vintage Cuvee and Joie de Vivre. L’Acadie Vineyards wine tasting notes for these organic L’Acadie Blanc-based sparkling wines are crisp acidity, dry, minerality, slight saline, brioche and creamy persistent bubbles. Ideal food pairings are seafood like oysters and other slightly salty cuisine.
The winery also produces exceptional still L’Acadie Blanc wines such as L’Acadie Blanc Estate and Tidal Bay, Nova Scotia’s signature white wine. Crisp and dry with moderate alcohol, these organic wines are food friendly and perfect for British cuisine such as seafood, cheeses and vegetarian dishes.
L’Acadie Vineyards organic wines are represented in the UK by Daniel Lambert Wines and are available in Wales, UK at Cheers Wine Merchants and many fine restaurants.
