Where it comes from
Rhône Valley, France
Rhône Valley (Vallée du Rhône) follows the Rhône river through southeastern France and splits into two distinct halves with very different personalities.
Grenache
Grenache is a red grape that originated in the Aragón region of Spain, where it is called Garnacha, and it is widely grown across the Mediterranean.
Syrah
Syrah is a red grape from the Northern Rhône in France, responsible for some of the world's most dramatic, savoury reds.
Caladoc
A modern French crossing of Grenache and Malbec, bred by INRA in 1958 and released in 1974.
Carignan
Carignan is a red grape of Spanish origin, traced to Aragón, where it is known as Cariñena.
