Rhone

Rhône wines are known for their intense aromas and robust flavor profiles. The region predominantly produces red wines, which often exhibit spicy and fruity notes. White wines from the Rhône are less common but equally impressive, characterized by floral and fruity aromas.

Rhône red wines pair excellently with hearty meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. White wines from the Rhône, such as Viognier, pair well with fish dishes, seafood, and lightly spiced foods.

The aging potential of Rhône wines varies depending on the wine and vintage. High-quality Syrah wines from the northern Rhône Valley can age for several decades, while most southern Rhône wines are best consumed within 5-10 years.

Rhône red wines should be served at a temperature of around 16-18°C, while white wines are best enjoyed at 8-10°C.
