Fleshy, perfumed, silky.
Located in South East Kelowna and specializing in cool-climate varieties, Spearhead continues to excel under winemaker Grant Stanley, who makes this blend of Dijon and Pommard (and a splash of Mt. Eden) clone grapes and matures it in for 13 months in French oak.
This vintage is notably riper than the previous. Cherries and black raspberry, dried orange peel and tealeaf, star anise, vanilla liqueur, cedar chips and lilacs perfume the nose. The palate is earthier; silky with tangible oak influence, it shows good levity and persistence.
This is no shy Pinot, it has a fleshy and robust character

Tangy, classic, silky.
Spearhead, formerly Spierhead, makes this blend of Dijon and Pommard clones and matures it in French oak.
The estate sits high above Kelowna on a cool climate site well-suited to Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; as they've proven time and again.
This vintage is spicy; expect notes of rhubarb and red cherries, leather and tealeaf with undertones of rainforest floor. It has lovely balance, is tart and tangy and delivers classic Pinot character.

Juicy, dry, refreshing.
The Spierhead Pink has a watermelon hue and aromas of strawberries, orange blossoms, kumquats, vanilla and peach stone. It has a kiss of sweetness on the entry with oodles of juicy fruits and then dries up on the finish. Balanced, refreshing and quaffable.
