Sir Isaac Brock who fought and fell Here in october 1812. Queenston Heights Park is one of several in the Niagara Parks system linked by the Niagara two words say much about wine second of a series by Robert Cameron if you Don t understand the significance of the words Varie Tal and Vintage As applied to wine High time you did. They ant As fundamental As the who sire and How and they re of equal importance in knowing your Effie. Var fetal. A varietal wine is one identified with a specific grape pint kor riesling Etc. Item can be 100 per Cem of the named grape but most areas allow use of a varietal name so Long As at least 51 per cent of the juice comes from that grape. In Europe and hence with most of the better known imports it is regional identifiers such As Burgundy Moselle or Beaujolais which Are used and to which we Are accustomed. Some of these happen to be synonymous with one or More specific grapes. For instance All Beaujolais is made from the Camay. But generally the association for Consumers is be tween a Region and character of a wine not specific grapes. In the on the other hand varietal opines Are prevalent. And we Are seeing them More and More in Canada the riesling of chateau Cartier and chardonnay of Brights for in stance. In using such identifiers the producer tells you that even though he does t qualify for a prestigious Region Al name he is nevertheless giving you wine from a Good exciting grape. It explains Why his bottle May Cost. More than one next cd to it on the shelf which looks the same. It also gives you something to which you can relate in comparing wines and getting what you want for a meal. Varietal and. Regional names notwithstanding most wine which Consumers buy is blended wine without a specific for Mula. sold under such Trade names As Isle St. George Vino Bueno red table wine. Or it May appear with the likes of Manor St. David Sau Terne president Burgundy Etc., which is an attempt to associate Content with a Well known flavor. Without a set for Mula blends Are naturally favored for Large scale production. Good producers of course try to maintain the character constant from year to year. Many blends Are thus quite predictable and attract steady customers. Incidentally plonk is an amusing bit of Slang the British Are using to cover the bulk produced blended wines sold under Trade names in final analysis varietal wines or regional ones using specific gropes tend to be thoroughbreds. And like any thoroughbred they will on the whole have greater character potential improve with age and probably be a Little More exciting to live with. Vintage. The term Vintage wine almost always Means one that shows the year of har Vest on the Label. Most Good wines in Europe indicate the Vintage and most North Ameri for and against both practises. A Vintage wine is naturally associated with the weather of that year. a favourable the user has Assurance of qua Lity in the bottle. Producers can Ballyhoo the fact exit the customers and get Good prices for their product. On the other hand in Good years the Vintage system can inflate prices out of All proportion to the swing in Quality even though it makes for bargains in poor years the average Price is probably higher than it otherwise would be. The Vintage in one Region will naturally not have the same significance in another. So beyond knowing when the wine was bottled the Vintage is difficult to use in a practical Way unless you study Vintage charts. But since these can be slanted to suit sectional inter ests they Are liable to confuse As much As they enlighten. The Mala argument for bottling without vintages is that a producer can even by mixing Good year with in different year. Wine. This plus a steadier Price has great attraction for customers who like to know what they Are buying without researching Vintage charts when you add the relative consistency of the growing sea son in North America to the fact that Vintage markings in general mean More to producers in extra Price than for customers in Quality i incline to the non Vintage idea however if the bottling Date usually be tween six months and two years after Harvest was shown on All table wines it would be a great step Forward. Why Sim ply because it would go a Long Way to protecting the consumer from shoddy storage and marketing practices As the wine moves from source to his Home. Many wines have a very Short life while others Are Sta Over a Long period and improve with age. But without any idea when a wine started its career you be no Way of knowing whether a wine is Likely to be Good or How to handle it to your own advantage. Nor can you recommend a bottle to a Friend and have Assurance it will be from the same lot As the one you yourself tasted and liked. Vintage markings would prob ably make life More difficult for Canadian producers because of blending practices. But a simple bottling Date should t at All. Right now in fact All producers code their labels to give them this information for their own convenience and Protection. But thus far a con Sumer must buy non Vintage wine on Faith a Faith that is betrayed More often than need be if he too had the Means of control which a simple bottling Date would provide.
