Burrowing Owl Estate Winery is pleased to announce the release of a new wine this Springspring: a 2011 Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes for this varietal come from Burrowing Owl’s vineyard in the Similkameen Valley – a location chosen specifically for Sauvignon Blanc. Rhys Pender, MW states: “This wine has an intense and complex expression of barrel and lees. The nose has pronounced tropical notes of passion fruit along with peaches, orange sherbet, baked golden apple and honeydew melon with some fresh lime and lemon in the background. The palate is dry and full-bodied with crisp acidity and flinty mineral notes supported by toasty vanilla oak, exotic citrus fruit and zest and mouth filling ripe nectarine, peach and pear”. Visit Burrowing Owl’s Wine Shop this spring to purchase a bottle or two.
Spring getaway packages will be offered for visitors to relax, sip and taste their way through Burrowing Owl’s portfolio of wines while enjoying the luxury of the winery’s well- appointed suites, and the vineyard landscape that surrounds them.
