Rhône varietals

Rhône varietals are grape types used to produce wines from the Rhône Valley in France. Key reds include Syrah, which offers bold, spicy, and dark fruit flavors, and Grenache, known for its ripe, berry-like taste and softer texture. Mourvèdre adds complexity and structure. For whites, Viognier provides aromatic, floral notes with a rich palate, while Marsanne and Roussanne contribute to elegant, creamy, and fruity wines. These varietals are often blended to create the region’s distinctive wines, combining aromatic complexity, depth, and balance. The Rhône’s climate encourages ripe, expressive grapes, shaping the character of its varietals.
