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.

Truly elite wine with a rich, gentle structure and a deep, concentrated fruit flavour profile that highlights the full-bodied characteristics of Syrah. The wine's intricate flavour profile is shaped by a blackberry and oak-based taste, with nuanced floral touches of violet and perfume, accompanied by a note of dried rose and a pepper-like sensation echoing of the southern Rhone Mediterranean. The earthy traces add richness and structure to the altogether experience, making this a truly French wine that is sure to please even the most discerning palates.
