Wine in British Columbia

Straw yellow colour and beautiful clarity. The nose is very youthful and jumps out with banana and papaya. Honey and lemon mingle with pear and honeydew melon. The palate is focused and precise, with more refreshing citrus-driven acidity than in 2016. Tropical fruit in the mid-palate and crisp lingering finish. This wine screams for shellfish.

Cabernet flavours are most evident on the nose, with red bell pepper, currants, cedar and mint, but the palate is where all of the other grapes from the blend come together seamlessly, each bringing a crucial component to the final wine. Plenty of dark, dusty cocoa and espresso flavours contribute to a good earthy backbone, while blackberries, black Kalamata olives, prunes and currants provide healthy fruit character. An Okanagan dusty sage element adds another layer of complexity, which becomes a slight minty element on the long, beautiful, chocolaty finish. Drink now with a premium cut of steak.

A rich, ripe Burrowing Owl Pinot Noir from the warm 2015 vintage. The nose shows ripe black cherry, dried fig, black forest cake, dark chocolate, vanilla and pretty violet floral notes. The palate is intense and rich with silky tannins and flavours of liqueur chocolate cherries, plum, cocoa and black cherry with some complex liquorice and baking spice. This rich wine pairs well with bacon studded beef bourguignon or with lamb sausages with black cherry jam. Rhys Pender, Master of Wine. The grapes were handpicked from Burrowing Owl’s Vineyard in Oliver on September 29th. They were hand-sorted, destemmed and slightly crushed before being dropped into stainless steel tanks for the alcoholic fermentation. Strict temperature-controlled fermentation helped retain the Pinot Noir’s delicate flavours. The wine was then pressed and transferred into barrels for malolactic conversion and ageing (13 months). The ageing program, based on French and Hungarian oaks enhances aromatics while adding toasted and spicy notes. During ageing, the wine was regularly racked off its lees; it was then bottled unfiltered. 76% French, 15% Hungarian, 5% American, 4% Russian, with 25% new oak and 25% 1-year-old

The grapes used in the Pinot Gris were selected from vineyards in the northern Okanagan Valley. The grapes were picked at over 22 Brix. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation in order to retain maximum freshness. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks.
