Where do Rhone varieties come from?


The Rhône wine region in Southern France is situated in the Rhône river valley and produces numerous wines under various Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designations. The region's major appellation in production volume is Côtes du Rhône AOC.
The Rhône is generally divided into two sub-regions with distinct viticultural traditions, the Northern Rhône and the Southern Rhône. The northern sub-region produces red wines from the
Syrah grape and white wines from Viognier grapes.
