"A dense and layered malbec with dark fruits and firm, silky tannins. Full body and a long and balanced finish. Love the richness and balance. Shows just the right amount of austerity on the finish. This will give so many Argentine malbecs a run for their money. Drink or hold."

The passion for Syrah is the defining factor of POLKURA.
The POLKURA journey started in 1998, when winemaker Sven Bruchfeld along with his friend and university buddy Gonzalo Muñoz, envisioned future projects they could do together. Gonzalo was studying in Spain and Sven was working in different wine regions around the world.
They met near Narbonne, in the south of France. A tasting of a Mediterranean style Syrah in one of the local wineries epitomized the grape variety as the basis for their future wine.
Once they were back in Chile, they set out to find the best place to develop a vineyard in order to maximize the grape quality and the wine they wanted to produce. In 2002 they found the perfect location. A neglected property in the Marchigüe area at the Western end of the Colchagua Valley met the soil and climate requirements they were looking for to fulfill their dream.
They harvested the first vintage in 2004 from the were planted on the twelve hectares on the POLKURA hill.
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
