WINE DESCRIPTION

This wine comes from the Côte-Rôtie appellation, which is known for its steep slopes and terraced vineyards. The Côte Blonde vineyard, where the grapes for this wine are grown, is particularly unique due to its sandy soils and exposure to the sun. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with notes of red fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. It is a perfect representation of the Côte-Rôtie appellation and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Rostaing
Region: Rhone
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.CUSTOMER RATING
