Polkura Syrah 2013
Valle de Colchagua
Loading...
With 94 points, this is the epitome of Chilean Syrah. It’s from a stellar cellar founded by two winemaking friends in 1998, and every vintage it wins top scores – 94 for 2013. Aged for over a year in new oak, it is beautifully silky, long and spicy.

The Wine
Sven Bruchfeld (formerly of Viña Santa Carolina) and Gonzalo Muñoz vowed to craft the finest Chilean Syrah possible, and we believe they have. They do so on a tiny scale, so it’s still only known to insiders. That said, with 90+ points every vintage from the likes of Wine Spectator, they won’t be able to hide their Syrah for long. Polkura is a little hill at the western end of Colchagua Valley. The name means “yellow stone” – a reference to the yellow granite that mingles with the clay soils there – and it’s on these cooler, south facing slopes that their Syrah grows. The microclimate lends a lovely pepper complexity to sublime blackberry, fig and liquorice notes. More northern Rhône than New World. One to decant and enjoy with roast lamb.

Beautiful fruit, spice and hints of dried meat. Medium to full body, fine tannins. Real Syrah
