Entry criteria: Producers and UK agents were invited to submit their latest-release, single-varietal (85% minimum) Syrahs from any South American region.
The verdict
Chile dominated this South American tasting, accounting for 70% of the wines tasted. While Argentina has the most Syrah vines planted, there were only 18 Argentinian wines submitted.
