Burrowing Owl Pinot Gris - Okanagan Valley, B.C., Canada, VQA
Producer's Notes:
An intense, exotic Pinot Gris with aromas of ripe pear, honeydew melon, nectarine, apple peel, chamomile, and orchard blossom, with lemon and ruby grapefruit citrus notes and a fresh scent of sage. Just off-dry on the intense palate, with bright acidity, medium body, a soft, round texture, and flavors of golden apple, peach, mandarin, and honey. Pair with a Thai-inspired stir-fry or a salad of pear, blue cheese, and candied pecans.
What We Say:
One of the winery's signature white wines, and a particularly good expression of the sunny, dry South Okanagan, combining ripe orchard and stone fruit with crisp acidity and mineral freshness. Subtle mineral and stony character adds length and definition to the palate, which is already nicely textured, leaving the wine ripe, juicy, and refreshing.
The attractiveness of this wine rests in the balance between Okanagan ripeness and cool-climate freshness. It is richer and more textural than a very lean European-style Pinot Gris, but considerably fresher and more precise than an overly tropical, soft white
