Dynamic, supple, expressive.
A perennial BC favourite, the Burrowing Owl Pinot Gris offers seductive notes of ripe guava, spring flowers, exotic citrus, honey and juicy stone fruits. It is equally intense and expressive in the mouth; honeyed and fruit-focused with impressive weight balanced by racy acidity.
Supple and dynamic.
Pair: Spicy crab cakes, mushroom based pastas or risotto, salmon .

Dynamic, juicy, expressive.
A perennial favourite, the Burrowing Owl Pinot Gris is always expressive.
Honeydew melon and creamy pearsm vanilla, orange blossoms and marmalade notes lead to a juicy but concentrated palate. Oodles of sweet fruit line the mouth, golden and spiced creamy and lifted it has some texture on the finish, which just adds to the overall mouthfeel. A dynamic white.

Tangy, powerful, silky.
From the warmer, South Okanagan Valley, one never expects the Burrowing Owl Pinot to be shy -- it is consistently a more masculine version. It has a distinct earthy character - smoky and dusty with tart red fruits, leather and dried sage. The palate is silky, the fruit here - darker and savoury. The finish is peppery and powerful.
Pair: Lamb, grilled portobello mushrooms, duck or beet risotto.

Elegant, fragrant, silky.
It's been almost decade since I've tried Burrowing Owl's Pinot Noir. The grapes were harvested from Oliver and Okanagan Falls and aged entirely in French oak barrel, 36% new. It's a perfumed Pinot suggesting raspberry and cherry cola, rainforest floor and leather, violets and tealeaf. The palate is clean, juicy, and silky in texture. Tangy red fruit, earth and spice flavours dominate. Elegant and refined.
Pair: Lamb, grilled portobello mushrooms, duck or beet risotto.

Compelling, quaffable, delightful.
Made from 100% Cabernet Franc this compelling blush-pink rose suggest divine notes of watermelon and peaches, honeysuckle and pink grapefruit. It has a kiss of sweetness and delightful flavours to echo the nose. Truly quaffable.
