Michel & Stéphane Ogier La Rosine Syrah is a premium wine produced by the renowned Ogier family in the Northern Rhône. The La Rosine vineyard is situated on steep slopes with granite and schist soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before undergoing traditional winemaking techniques, including a long maceration period and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a beautiful expression of Syrah, with aromas of dark fruit, black pepper, and violets, and a rich, full-bodied palate with firm tannins and a long, complex finish. This wine is a must-try for any serious wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality, terroir-driven Syrah.

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.
