The fourth qualitative confrontation of the world's best Syrah/Shiraz wines will be held on 3 and 4 June 2010 at the Chateau d'Ampuis in the village of Ampuis (northern Rhone Valley, France).

The goal of this qualitative confrontation is to select the world's best Syrah/Shiraz wines. The events 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 Rhone 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, rose, still, sparkling, dry or sweet.
