Saint Joseph wines, hailing from the Northern Rhône region in France, are primarily made from the Syrah grape, which is known for its deep color and robust character. These wines typically exhibit rich flavors of black fruits, olives, smoke, and spices, with a distinctive peppery finish. Unique to this appellation is the steep granite slopes that enhance the complexity and minerality of the wines. Historically, Saint Joseph was one of the first regions to enhance hillside viticulture, showcasing a tradition of excellence in terroir-driven wines.
