Delicious, purity, fresh.
Three decades ago Adolf Kruger started Wild Goose in Okanagan Falls in; it was sold to Borrowing Owl Vineyards in 2021.
This is a delightful and showy Gew with saturated aromas of Turkish delight, lychee, star anise, rose oil, wildflower honey and exotic spices. It's equally expressive on the palate; off-dry with concentrated peach, grapefruit and spice flavours. Lovely purity and length.

Supple, concentrated, fresh.
Clos du Soleil's flagship estate red is made from three Similkameen vineyards and the 2021 is comprised of: Cabernet Sauvignon (32%), Merlot (34%), Cabernet Franc (18%), Malbec (9%) and Petit Verdot (7%). The wine was aged 16 months in French oak barrels before bottling.
Notes of cherry pipe tobacco, chocolate, vanilla, dried purple flowers and baking spices lead to a supple and fresh palate. It checks the balance and structure boxes nicely and shows notable concentration with a bright and smooth finish.

Fragrant, earthy, fresh.
Burrowing Owl's Viognier was aged entirely in French oak: 14% new, 36% one-year-old and 50% neutral barrels and saw nine months of ageing.
Peach compote and exotic brown spices, musk melon and wild honey, dried flowers and earthy undertones define the nose. The cooler vintage shows on the restrain on the palate of this 2023 version; expect citrus-driven flavours underscored by peach gelato and melon; the finish is long and spiced.
Pair: Spicy crab cakes, Moroccan dishes, saucy ribs.
