Description
Made by the Wyse family, this Chardonnay was awarded a Silver Medal at the 2018 Pacific Rim International Wine Competition (that's Pacific Rim the locale, not the movie - the wines are not judged by giant robots). Expect ripe citrus and orchard fruit with subtle tropical fruit and oak notes, and pair the wine with lobster tail or pork chops.

Tasting Notes
Burrowing Owl is one of Canada's standout producers, raising the bar year in and year out with wines such as this. It's always a wine of significance and complexity, with ripe tropical notes, peach, pineapple and mineral all artfully delineated. Look for a sexy caramel introduced by the barrel fermentation and ageing. Consider pairing this fresh, long Chardonnay with grilled pork loin and grilled peaches.
