Rasteau is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée for wines in the southern Rhône wine region of France, covering fortified and unfortified wines. Fortified sweet wines (Vin Doux Naturel, VDN) can be red, rosé or white and have long been produced under the AOC Rasteau.
In 2010, dry red wines (not fortified) were also added to the appellation, from the 2009 vintage.
