Spearhead Winery White Pinot Noir 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLast year’s attempt was exciting, but the current release is a whole lot better. A white pinot noir sounds intriguing: there’s gentle, quick whole-bunch pressing, limiting time on the skins, hence it is white, not the standard red colour. The juice is cold settled and fermented to a pleasing dryness before spending time on its lees, taming any exuberant fruit characters and adding a sheen of complexity to the apple, pear, melon flavours. There is a flinty, leesy, salty character that helps to dry the finish, and this year there is very little bitterness. Ready to drink and perfect with late afternoon patio bites.Tasted: 18 April 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
