POLKURA is a wine growing project, started in 2002 by the Muñoz and Bruchfeld families, with the purpose of making an exceptional wine, based on the exciting Syrah grape variety. Marchigüe, at the western end of the Colchagua Valley in Chile was chosen as the ideal site, for it has shown enormous potential to produce this varietal. POLKURA is the name of a little hill, located inside the vineyard. On its slopes grow the grapes that make this wine. POLKURA means “yellow stone” in the native Chilean Mapuche language, referring to large amounts of yellow granite spread along the clay soils of the area. Decomposed granite imparts the wine with minerality and elegance, whereas clay gives it body and structure. The moderate coastal climate adds spice and fruitiness, resulting in a fine, yet complex and full bodied wine with very good balance.
Country of Origin:
Colchagua Valley, Chile
Type:
Red/Rouge (Still)
Grape Varieties：
100% Syrah
Tasting notes:
Deep purple in color. The nose shows red and black fruit complimented with spiced and floral notes. On the palate the wine is very intense but elegant. There’s a nice balance between the tannins and acidity that lends freshness to the wine despite the depth of flavors. The wine is very complex, with lots of layers of fruit that are very harmonious. It has a nice, long finish.
