Reserva de la Rancière Côtes du Rhône offers a smooth, medium-bodied experience that feels right at home during a cozy dinner or relaxed gathering. With an ABV of 14%, this French wine is crafted in the heart of the Rhône Valley, where traditional methods and careful blending highlight the region’s character.
