1st International Syrah Symposium
A Solid Success: An International Audience Gathers to Discuss Syrah
On 13 and 14 May, the city of Lyon was host to the 1st International Syrah Symposium co-organised by Forum Œnologie and ISARA-Lyon, with Inter Rhône and the Revue des Œnologues as major partners.
Over the course of two days, the International Syrah Symposium brought together a large audience to discuss and learn about Syrah, one of the ten most widely grown grape varieties worldwide. A range of scientific and industry experts stepped up to the lectern and gave an overview of knowledge about Syrah and the future outlook for this variety. In all, 230 wine industry representatives from 10 countries attended the symposium. In addition, more than 1 000 Internet connections were recorded during the two days of webcasts. On several occasions, there were peaks of up to 200 connections at one time.
Universities, wineries, research centres, technicians and scientists from all over the world were not wrong: this inaugural symposium was an excellent occasion to share knowledge with international experts: Australia, USA/California, Brazil, France, Italy, Argentina, Switzerland and other countries.
This inaugural symposium was a real success. It fully met the expectations of its organisers, and it also helped to establish relationships between academic experts and Syrah growers/winemakers.
The next International Syrah Symposium will be held in 2010 and will also be the occasion for the presentation of the Claude Valat Award for the best scientific and technical contributions to knowledge about Syrah.
