When
considering the Ctes-du-Rhne it is
best to look at the
North & South separately. The Northern Rhne has a continental
climate,
and the Southern area is mainly Mediterranean.
The Wines of the North are firm and tannic, while the warmer climate of
the
South yields wines that are higher in alcohol & with a riper &
softer edge. |

Grape
varieties of the region:
