Natalie's Score: 91/100

Rich and buttery wrapped in a heady gust of campfire smoke and storytelling. Toasted almond and spicy pear on the nose and palate of this pleasant full-bodied BC white wine made from Chardonnay grapes. Aromas of green apple and freshly baked bread. Good minerality on the finish. Pair with roast chicken.

Chardonnay food pairings: deep sea scallops, pan-fried cod, pasta in an Alfredo sauce.

Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Beautiful, rich, round and supple. Big and bold butterscotch, crisp russet apple, a hint of lime zest, blanched almond. Paired perfectly with roast turkey dinner. Tasted 2015 vintage in October 2017. 93 points. BespokeTastings
Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This beautiful Okanagan Chardonnay, from Canada's Wine Capital, is a terrific example of the world-class wines Burrowing Owl is producing from their picturesque winery located along the Black Sage Road in Oliver, BC. The grapes are grown in their estate vineyards immediately adjacent to their beautiful winery and the award winning Sonora Room Restaurant, which by the way is a fantastic place to enjoy this wine along with older vintages from their onsite library. Their 2015 Chardonnay is a beautiful golden yellow with a faint green hue. The nose shows crisp yellow apple, butterscotch, hazelnut and citrus notes. Creamy and medium-full bodied with a refreshing lightness, thanks to the equal use of steel and oak during the fermentation of the perfect 2015 vintage fruit. The palate offers more crisp orchard fruit with a touch of sweet tropical fruit on the finish. At 14% ABV this Chardonnay is remarkably well balanced and quite simply stunning! Enjoy with grilled seafood, roasted poultry, or Autumn soups. A perfect wine for any Thanksgiving celebration. Tasted May 2017 at the winery. 92+ points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
