Annapolis Highland Vineyards
Karen and Brendan Enright relocated to Nova Scotia from Ontario in 2002. They were looking for a better lifestyle and Nova Scotia immediately came to mind for its natural beauty, opportunities and pace.
The winery’s vineyard is south-facing and comprised of several benches of well-drained, sand, gravel, slate and granite soils, resembling those of Alsace and the Mosel in the prestigious wine regions of France and Germany. At 400' above sea level their vineyard is not affected by the fog or cold ocean air, providing long, hot, sunny days necessary for producing premium quality grapes.
“The most important thing to our winery is to consistently provide premium quality Nova Scotia wines. We also like to think outside the box when it comes to varieties and have in the past and will continue to test varieties not common to the province,” says Karen Enright. “The vineyard was developed over four years of leading-edge farming practices. Our state-of-the-art winery building and equipment combined with our high quality estate grown grapes has provided our winemakers and wine consultant with all of the tools necessary to create our exceptional award-winning wines."
