I chose Chateauneuf du Pape from the Southern Rhone this week to cover a few grape varieties. Of course the main grapes of the Rhone is the Syrah predominant in the Northern part and the Grenache in the Southern Rhone. Both these grapes are found in Chateauneuf du Pape but the interesting thing about this wine is it allows for up to 13 grape varieties in total.
So we are going to try to cover the 11 others that are allowed in a Chateauneuf du Pape. Grenache Blanc which is not part of the 11 others could also be included in the mix bringing it up to 14 but since we are not sure if it is actually included under Grenache , we will skip it

Mourvedre - a high acidity grape variety it flourishes in hot climates
where it buds late and ripens late. Known most for Bandol in the
Provence region of France along the Mediterranean.
Picpoul - one of France's oldest white wine domestic grape varieties the vine buds late so it does require a warm climate. Relatively unknown and questionable as to whether it is used in the wine at all nowadays. Very little of it is grown these days.
Terret Noir - Buds extremely late but adds perfume to the Chateauneuf du Pape and is rather tart adding some nervosite to the wine. This means it gives the wine a bit of an edge which is what it needs that the warm weather cannot give it.
