The Rhône Valley is renowned for producing some of the world's most exceptional wines. The region is divided into two: Northern Rhône and Southern Rhône. In the North, Syrah is the primary grape variety used to produce full-bodied, spicy red wines such as Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage. In the South, Grenache is the dominant grape used in blends for red wines such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas.
White wines are also produced in the Rhône Valley, including the famous Condrieu made from Viognier grapes. The region's wines are known for their richness, depth, and complexity, and they often age beautifully.
