Syrah du Monde

For his first edition, this international competition have bring together 325 wines made from the Syrah/Shiraz varietal from 17 countries. The goal of this qualitative confrontation is to select the world's best Syrah/Shiraz wines. Its ambition is therefore to highlight Syrah/Shiraz wines from throughout the world each year by presenting medals that are reliable and thus representative.

The Syrah varietal was born a very long time ago on the hillsides of the northern Rhône Valley. It has since been spread successfully to other French regions and all over the world. As such, Syrah/Shiraz wines display a rich array of sensory characteristics that reflect their different terroirs, climates and winemaking practices.

This meeting will therefore offer a unique occasion to bring together and discover Syrah/Shiraz wines in all their forms: red, rosé, still, sparkling, dry or sweet.

Syrah du Monde® is supported by an organising team composed of wine and grape professionals.
