Tasting Notes

This Chardonnay opens with enticing aromas of lemon curd, green apple, flint, and toasted almond. On the palate, it is vibrant and textural, revealing layers of citrus, white peach, subtle oak spice, and a thread of wet stone minerality. Balanced acidity and a creamy mouthfeel lead to a long, elegant finish with hints of vanilla and saline. 

Winemaker Notes

Aromas

  • Citrus zest, crushed oyster shell, green apple, hazelnut, and lightly toasted oak.

Palate

  • Medium-bodied with crisp acidity, fine texture, and nuanced fruit. Subtle creaminess from partial malolactic fermentation and time in French oak.

Finish

  • Clean and persistent with refreshing minerality and a kiss of oak spice

The 2021 vintage saw a cool, extended growing season, allowing Clone 95 to ripen slowly and develop its hallmark concentration and structure. Barrel fermented and aged sur lie for 10 months in French oak (20% new), the wine showcases purity and finesse.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This Chardonnay shines with a range of elegant dishes:

  • Grilled halibut with lemon beurre blanc

  • Roast chicken with thyme and garlic

  • Pasta with wild mushrooms and cream sauce

  • Lobster or scallops with drawn butter

  • Soft cheeses like Brie, triple-cream, or Comté

Its mineral backbone and balanced oak make it ideal for richer seafood and creamy poultry dishes.

Why We Love It

The 2021 Spearhead Chardonnay Clone 95 is a beautiful example of what makes single-clone, cool-climate Chardonnay so compelling. Focused, fresh, and quietly complex, this wine offers both immediate appeal and cellar potential. If you’re a fan of Burgundian style whites or looking for a refined BC Chardonnay, this one delivers in spades.
