Saturday April 22nd, 12pm - 2pm
The Rhone covers an incredible 71,000 hectares in total and is France's second-biggest wine-producing region in France after Bordeaux. From north to south It stretches over 240km from its starting point in Lyon to the Rhone delta just short of the Mediterranean coast. Unsurprisingly, given its size, it produces a myriad of styles from still red and whites to rose, sparkling, and unique sweet wines. It's a smorgasbord of delicious quaffing, bistro fair through to benchmark bottlings representing some of the best value drinking along with some of the world's most collectible and sort after wines.
With that in mind, we have put together a cheeky little selection of wines for this Saturday that represent some of the best the Rhone Valley has to offer. It covers some brilliant examples from the cooler reaches of the Northern Rhone including Crozes-Hermitage and St Joseph as well as some of our favourite bottles of juicy, crunchy Cote du Rhone red and white along with the king in the south, Chateauneuf du Pape.
So, please pop down and say g'day and try this great little lineup of Rhone goodness. It's the perfect pair for cooler autumn days and the best part is, it's completely free.
