Our wines
Cotes du Rhone is a wine-growing appellation within the Rhone Valley where wines have been produced since pre-Roman times. The vines stretch from just south of Lyon all the way to the Mediterranian Sea and are divided into 2 big sub-regions called Rhone Septentrionale and Rhone Meridionale.
The first one is the most inland and includes very fancy appellations like Cote-Rotie or Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage for red wines and Condrieu or Hermitage for some very high-end whites.
The red wines in this part are very often made from 100% Syrah
and the whites from Viognier or Roussane and Marsanne.
Some of the wines in this northern part of the Rhone Valley are capable of aging for decades and sell for astronomical prices.
The harvest is particularly difficult because the grapes are grown on very steep slopes but this adds a lot to the quality of wines.
At Wine Affairs we select all of our wines based on taste and quality and prioritise working with winemakers who use biodynamic and organic farming practices. We believe that this results in superior wine quality and that the winemakers’ passion and care for the terroir and environment are reflected in the taste of the wine, making it exceptional.
