Rhone Valley
The Rhône Valley is a long, narrow strip in the southern center of France; in practice, this region is divided into two subregions, each with its own character and identity - Northern and Southern Rhône; the northern section is best known for its legendary and long-lasting red wines primarily made from Syrah grapes: Hermitage, Côte Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, and Cornas, as well as the aromatic white Viognier from Condrieu; the south is home to the full-bodied Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, as well as the light Rosé from Tavel; Châteauneuf-du-Pape can be a blend of up to 13 different varieties, of which 3 are even white; this is also the main difference between it and Gigondas, where white varieties are not allowed in the blend; the most famous of these main red varieties are Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Cinsault, while the whites are Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier.

Syrah
Syrah/Shiraz - Two names of one and the same grape variety - the winemakers from the Old world use Syrah and the ones from the New world - Shiraz. The grape is a deep red, even the pulp, therefore this variety is not suitable for blanc de noir wine style. Syrah wine has specific floral aromas in its youth and develops notes of herbs and spices such as white and black pepper as it ages. These varietal specifics come out better when blended with a small amount of Viognier - a method gaining popularity more and more around the world. Syrah produces wines capable of ageing and improving over decades, which enhances its plummy and almost oriental spicy flavours.
