WINE DESCRIPTION
Gigondas is a renowned wine appellation in the southern Rhône Valley of France, famous for producing robust and structured red wines. The term "Terme Gigondas" doesn't appear to refer to a specific wine or concept within the wine industry. However, Gigondas wines are typically made primarily from Grenache grapes, blended with other local varieties like Syrah and Mourvèdre. These wines often boast rich, ripe fruit flavors, spicy notes, and a distinctive sense of terroir influenced by the region's rocky soils and Mediterranean climate.

ORIGINS
Winery: Terme
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
