Painted Rock Estate Winery Reviewed by Jancis Robinson
Painted Rock Estate Winery reviewed by Jancis Robinson This May, John Skinner and fellow Canadian wine producers, headed to London England to participate in a number of tastings amounting to what Jancis referred to as “Canada Week in London” in her recent article titled “British Columbia catching up fast”. The events were focused on presenting Canadian wines to trade, media, buyers and educators at an event and we centered around the “Canada Calling” event hosted by the Canadian High Commission to the UK at Canada House. It was at this event that renowned British wine critic, Jancis Robinson, and her colleague Richard Hemming, had the chance to taste an assortment of Canadian wines. The wines were brought forward by a self-selected collection of Canadian producers including a number of Okanagan Wine Initiative members. John Skinner, Proprietor of Painted Rock Estate Winery, believes that it is imperative that premium Canadian wine producers rally behind their industry, and their investment, and send their very best abroad to build the Canadian wine brand in this competitive world market. Jancis Robinson’s article, which appeared on www.jancisrobsinson.com on May 30th, included reviews of 72 British Columbia wines, including 6 Painted Rock wines. We are particularly excited that the two vintages of our Red Icon, 2009 and 2016, received 17 points – the highest awarded to any BC wines at the tasting. This affirmed our commitment to creating consistently cellar worthy wines, vintage after vintage. Please see below for the reviews given on www.JancisRobinson.com. Painted Rock, Red Icon 2016 17 Points: “Like a very rich red bordeaux.

2020 Winery Information Guide CHATEAU GRAND TRAVERSE • WINERY • VINEYARDS • INN • OLD MISSION PENINSULA (800) 283.0247 • 12239 CENTER RD, TRAVERSE CITY, MI 49686 • F: (231) 223.4105 • CGTWINES.COM QUOTES TO NOTE “Anyone who has spent time in Michigan knows the words “lake effect” are usually followed by “snow.” But on the Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City, Lake Michigan moderates the climate and allows cool-climate white-grape varieties such as Riesling and pinot blanc to thrive. Chateau Grand Traverse is the region’s leading producer. The Whole Cluster Riesling is slightly off-dry though definitely not sweet, showing excellent fruit and texture.” —Washington Post “This might seem to be the last place to look for remarkable Rieslings, but since 1998 Sean O’Keefe has pushed the development of this medium-dry wine ahead at a pace not seen in America since the Apollo space program of the 1960s. The fennel and anise notes add complexity to the apple and pear fruit (in warm years, like 2012, there are also some exotic fruits). If you wonder what the mineral taste in wine really is, then try this and look out for the salty note in the aftertaste.” —LA Times “This is great stuff. This is world-class wine.” —Dan Berger, Noted Wine Author & Columnist “To my mind – and I was by no means alone in my enthusiasm – the most interesting wine by far, a wine I thought might be a wild-fermented dry German, was Chateau Grand Traverse, Lot 49 2010 Old Mission Peninsula, a relatively new addition to the range of wines made by this energetic Riesling

Wine What’s up, Languedoc? ‘I was struck by how much great wine is being produced and what wonderful bargains most are’ Jancis Robinson SEPTEMBER 1, 2017 by: Jancis Robinson In 1989, when the French franc (remember?) was cheap and a pre-Ryanair wave of British romantics sought a slice of la France profonde, we bought half a house in Languedoc. It was a small village in Burgundy that had shown me how much more rural rural France seemed than rural Britain but I was worried that a holiday house in such an important wine region might be an oxymoron. Back then, Languedoc and Roussillon, its Catalan neighbour to the south-west, were producing wines that seemed centuries less evolved than the great wines of France. I liked the idea that an array of styles was available in the region, but felt safe from feeling I ought to be spending my precious summer weeks of R&R visiting wine domaines. When we arrived, grapes were virtually the only crop grown in Languedoc and it was their produce that largely filled the notorious EU wine lake with thin, characterless red that no one wanted to drink. Successive schemes were put in place to drain this lake and transform the landscape so that vines on the least propitious (flat and fertile) land were grubbed up. This left a more significant proportion growing in more promising sites at higher elevations, on slopes and on poorer soils so that yields were naturally lower and the resulting wine more interesting and concentrated. Only a small proportion of the vines that used to surround our house remain.
