Burrowing Owl Viognier 2019

Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis viognier comes off their estate Osoyoos vineyard, and was whole bunch pressed, with 75% drained off into oak barrels for fermentation, leaving the remainder in stainless. Both underwent bâtonnage over 9 months. Rich and luxuriant on the fuller palate, with cold cream bedding perfumed pear, lush peach, ripe apricot, and lime blossom. There's an alluring ginger spice throughout, especially noticeable on the lingering finish. There's a smart restraint in this polished bottle, and at a welcome 13.5%, makes it an easy choice for Thai curries.Tasted: 18 September 2022Tasted by: Prices:
