SOUTHERN RHONE WINE TASTING |
|
| |
| The southern Rhone sub-region has a
Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers. Drought can be a problem in the area, but limited irrigation is permitted. The southern Rhone's most famous red wine is Chateauneuf-du-Pape, a blend containing up to 13 varieties of wine grapes, both red and white, as permitted by the Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC rules. Other nearby AOC
regions may contain even more varieties in the blend. Gigondas AOC, on the other hand, is predominantly made from Grenache Noir has a more restricted set of permitted grapes. Depending on the specific AOC rules, grapes blended into southern Rhone reds may include Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan and Cinsaut. White wines from the southern Rhone sub-region, such as in Chateauneuf-du-Pape whites, are also typically blends of several wine grapes. These may include Ugni Blanc, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, and Clairette.
Fortified wines (vin doux naturel) are made in the Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise AOC and Rasteau AOCs.
Some well-regarded producers from the southern Rhone include Paul Jaboulet Aine, E. Guigal, Chateau de Beaucastel, Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe, Chapoutier, Mordoree, Grand Veneur and Chateau La Nerthe.* Join us
