France – The Rhône

Famous for its spicy-rich red wines, the Rhône valley produces what I feel are the finest value wines in the world, ranging from the North of the valley to especially the South. The region has enjoyed a string of wonderful vintages with excellent wines of real class being produced by some extremely talented winemakers. For those of you who are not all that familiar with the styles of the region the Rhône divides into two prominent regions – the north which is dominated by the ink-black wines of the Syrah grape and the south which is largely influenced by the mellow warmth of the Grenache grape. Our range of wine from the Rhône encompasses all the major appellation’s throughout the entire valley and should cater for lovers of both north and south styles.
