Southern Rhone Red Blend
Southern Rhone Red Blend
Southern Rhone Red refers to a broad group of grape varieties used in the wines of the southern Rhone in France. Many different grapes can be included, but typically wines will be made from a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, with Grenache and Syrah the dominant partners. Other examples include Cinsault, Carignan and Clairette. The well-known appellation of Chateauneuf-du-Pape allows up to 13 different varieties to be used in its blends, but Grenache and Syrah dominate these wines as well.
