Saint-Joseph Wine Offers

About Saint-Joseph Wines

One of the better known wine names from the Northern Rhone, St Joseph is a large appellation, hugging the west bank of the river. Deliciously rich, spicy, perfumed and approachable, these wines do not have the power of Hermitage, over on the other side of the river, or the complexity of Cote Rotie, but offer style, flavour and a satisfying character. The wines from the steep granite slopes are far higher in quality than those grown on the alluvial soils close to the river.
