Burrowing Owl 2022 Sauvignon Blanc 750ml

There is 8.5% sémillon from Keremeos in the mix, which has a positive effect. Just over half the wine is barrel fermented, including co-fermenting the sémillon portion, while the remaining fruit is fermented in stainless steel. Post ferment, the wooded portion gets three months of lees stirring before five more months in wood undisturbed before the final blend, followed by another two months together before bottling. Look for an enriched sauvignon with a hint of the Bordeaux/Loire styling, pitching white grapefruit, citrus, stones, and lemon verbena. Perfect acidity keeps it all together, but this is a gastronomic wine you should bring to the table with rich, creamy seafood dishes.
