Balance is a time-honored goal in the making of premium wines and working toward balance is a way of life at Burrowing Estate Winery. Founder Jim Wyse is committed to balance, well beyond that of the fine, world-class wines being produced. A kind of Hippocratic oath (“to do no harm”) underlies the creative viticultural and enological practices at Burrowing Owl.
Burrowing Owl’s vineyards are located in prime position on the eastern side of the Okanagan Valley between Osoyoos and Oliver, BC – one of the most highly rated grape-growing locations in the region and for that matter Canada. Grapes from these vineyards have already attracted international acclaim.
Burrowing Owl Estate Winery is a winemaking facility that combines state-of-the-art technologies with proven, classic winemaking traditions. A gravity-flow system handles ripe grapes delicately, preserving their rich fruit character. Extensive underground cellaring capacity ensures that long term barrel aging is never limited by space.
