Southern Rhone is a hot, dry and sunny region that is famous for its big, bold reds and rich whites. Red fruited Grenache is the dominant red grape variety, with black, herbal Syrah not far behind.
As for the whites, expect Marsanne, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc. Cellars of all sizes in the region are embracing organic, biodynamic and natural wines, making this an exciting place to find energetic, alive wines that have a true sense of place and style.
