Description

Arrowhead Spring Cool Terroir

We produce wines that reflect the thoughtfully chosen soils and climates from which they emanate. We respect our surroundings, maintain good stewardship of the land, uphold our commitment to the principles of sustainable farming and seek a deeper understanding of the natural living systems around us and our vineyard.

Great wine starts in the vineyards.  Cluster thinning, leaf removal, shoot thinning and balanced pruning all lead to grapes that are balanced, flavorful and optimized for winemaking.  Traditional wine making methods are employed to create wine reflective of our terroir, with minimal intervention.

The Niagara Escarpment has limestone-based soils dating from the Paleozoic era when the land was under a warm sea abundant with corals and shellfish. Combined with abundant summer sunshine and a cooler climate moderated by Lake Ontario, our vineyards produce balanced wines.

Arrowhead Spring Cool Terrior is a Rhone inspired blend consisting primarily of estate grown Syrah and Merlot, with some Cabernet Sauvignon thrown in the balance it out. Spicy, reminiscent of white pepper and allspice. Dark and preserved fruits on the palate. Will age well. Pair with truffles, or braised meats.
