The Southern Rhône is a wine-producing region in southeastern France, known for its diverse range of red, white, and rosé wines. The area is characterized by its warm climate, which is ideal for growing grape varieties such as Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The region's vineyards are often planted on rolling hills and riverbanks, benefiting from the Rhône River. The Southern Rhône is home to several famous wine appellations, including Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône. These wines are typically rich and full-bodied, with flavors ranging from ripe fruit to spicy and herbal notes. The region's winemaking traditions date back to Roman times, making it a significant area in the history of French viticulture.
