It's not difficult to see why vine-growing is relatively uncommon on the steep banks of the Rhone river. These vineyards, probably the oldest in France, have had to be etched into the mountainside on narrow terraces and at dizzying gradients. Some are so steep that pulley system needs to be used during harvest. The great majority of wine made here is made from the great Syrah grape (with a little of Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne sprinkled in). We'll taste all the aristocratic grapes from the region including various styles of Syrah from several appellations. What would be the basis for the differences in taste profile? Soils, drainage, microclimates, elevations, angles of inclination toward the sun, viticulture and the deft hand of the winemaker; in short, Terroir.
