Painted Rock
Painted Rock produces estate-grown wines in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, a region defined by continental climate and mineral-rich soils that shape bold red varietals. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux and Rhône grapes, with three flagship wines earning recognition from Wine Enthusiast and Decanter. The Estate Grown Red Icon—a blend of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot—demonstrates the complexity possible from multi-varietal composition in this terroir. The Estate Grown Syrah showcases the region's capacity for Rhône-style expression, while the single-varietal Estate Grown Cabernet Franc highlights the particular affinity this grape holds for Okanagan conditions. Each wine reflects the winery's focus on estate fruit and structured, age-worthy reds.
