We are expanding!
That's right! We are currently under construction to expand our Wine Shop in order to improve the customer experience in our tasting room. We are making more room for wine tasting so that customers will enjoy a more leisurely experience in our Wine Shop full of award winning wines and wine related paraphernalia. We look forward to unveiling our new look by April 2013. Come by and visit us and check out the new space! See you soon.
Burrowing Owl First to Introduce New, Superior Stelvin Screwcap in BC
Burrowing Owl Estate Winery is pleased to announce
that it is the first BC winery to use the Stelvin®
Lux screw cap bottle closure. Stelvin® is a proven
leader in wine closures and their Lux product is the
next generation in screw cap technology. The Stelvin®
Lux is easy to open and provides the preserving benefits
of screw cap, but also has the smooth exterior finish
that allows Burrowing Owl to maintain the sophisticated
look of their familiar packaging imagery and design.

Calliope Figure 8 is released into stores
The Wyse Family, founders of Burrowing Owl Estate Winery, is pleased to announce the release of the first red wine under the Calliope label. The new red blend called Figure 8 is a Syrah-Merlot blend and is named for the unique flight pattern of a hummingbird’s wings as well as the seamless integration of the two varietals used in making this wine.
Calliope (ka-LIE-oh-pee) wine embodies the freedom & beauty of its two namesakes: B.C.’s tiniest hummingbird, and the Greek Muse of Eloquence. Calliope is an escape from tradition; winemakers are empowered to utilize their creative talents to explore new taste profiles and expressive, fresh characteristics in each variety.

Burrowing Owl Estate Winery
is Pleased
to Announce
the Release of the
2008 ATHENE
Pronounced a-THEE-nee, it’s the first new label to be added to Burrowing Owl’s award winning line up of premium wines in 8 years!
The name chosen for this blend comes from the biological genus, Athene, to which the burrowing owl belongs: Athene cunicularia.

Athene cunicularia

The 2008 Athene is a blend of Syrah (53%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (47%). The two grape varieties were harvested from Burrowing Owl Vineyards in Oliver, and were crushed, fermented and aged in oak together for 14 months prior to bottling in June, 2010. What started out as an experimental blend in the cellar, turned into a beautiful wine which features aromas of dark red luscious fruit, chocolate, mint, black currant and spice. One can also detect white pepper, cassis and ripe red cherries. The palate is dominated by dark red fruits, cassis and black currant with hints of cigar box and tobacco leaf. The tannins are silky smooth and the acidity is well balanced. Only 663 cases were produced.
In the Fall of 2010, the 2008 Athene is available in the Sonora Room Restaurant at Burrowing Owl Winery and will soon be found in finer restaurants in the Lower Mainland. There will also be a limited release at the Wine Shop in Oliver, B.C. during the 2011 Okanagan Spring Wine Festival – April 29 - May 8, 2011. |
