Rasteau

Rasteau is a picturesque village in the Rhone Valley of France, renowned for producing robust, flavorful red wines primarily from the Grenache grape. Located in the Southern Rhône region, it has a recognized AOC (appellation d'origine contrôlée) status, meaning wines from Rasteau meet strict quality standards. The area's warm climate and rocky, clay-rich soils contribute to the rich, full-bodied wines with hints of spice, dark fruit, and sometimes earthy notes. Rasteau's wines are appreciated for their balance and aging potential, making them popular among wine enthusiasts seeking something hearty and characterful.
