The Rhône wine region in Southern France is situated in the Rhône river valley and produces numerous wines under various AOC designations. The region is generally divided into two sub-regions with distinct vinicultural traditions, the Northern Rhône and the Southern Rhône. The northern sub-region produces red wines from the syrah grape, sometimes blended with white wine grapes, and white wines from viognier grapes. The southern sub-region produces a variety of both red and white wines, often blends of several grapes such as in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
