The Northern Rhone region follows the Rhône River as it flows south of Lyon. Best known and suited for the Syrah variety shown in the great red wines of Crozes Hermitage and St Joseph, whilst the often perfumed and powerful white wines are made from the fragrant Viognier of Condrieu and the complex Marsanne and Roussanne blends created in the rare whites of Hermitage, Crozes and St Joseph.
