Rhône Valley wines are defined by regional contrast, grape diversity and consistent value. The Northern Rhône focuses on single-varietal wines, most notably Syrah for reds and Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne for whites, producing structured, site-driven styles. The Southern Rhône is better known for blended wines based on Grenache, often supported by Syrah and Mourvèdre, offering fuller, more generous expressions. Together, these regions produce red and white wines suited to everyday drinking, food pairing and longer-term cellaring, with clear differences in style, structure and ageing potential.
