The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.

Doralina
Bold and rich wine with a fruity nose featuring suggestions of moncherie cherry, sour red candy, and sweet plums, matched by a distinct herbal and exotic spice profile. The taste is characterized by a dominant sour cherry and plum flavor, with mild herbal and thyme nuances. The wine's grip is smooth, but its tannic backbone and lingering bitterness make it a wine that should be consumed within a year or two. Its zest provides a zesty contrast to the wine's all around dryness. A wine that is both welcoming and refined, with a high P/Q ratio.

Voix
Complex and concentrated wine with a deep, velvety texture and a pronounced aroma that is highlighted by by layers of plum, blackberry, black currant, and cocoa, with gentle suggestions of white pepper and vanilla. The bracing quality is medium plus, and the tannins are medium plus, giving the wine a full-bodied feel. The profile is intense and intense, with a long close that trails on the palate. The wine is marked by its high alcohol content, which gives it a full-bodied body and a long, rewarding finish.

Hartmuth
Solid, casual wine with a black fruit nose and earthy undertones, balanced by a peppery finish. The tannins are moderate, and the bracing quality is low, making it a drinkable option for those who prefer a milder style. at the same time it may not be the perfect representation of the Southern Rhône, it is a inviting and fulfilling wine.
