Polkura Syrah 2021
One of the best values under $20 that you will taste.
The wine is from a great Chilean producer, Polkura. The winery was started back in 1998 by two friends Sven Bruchfeld and Gunzalo Munoz who had met in College. Although they had gone on their own wine journeys after college the two always dreamed of making wine together. They met at that time near Narbonne, in the south of France. A tasting of a Mediterranean style Syrah in one of the local wineries matched with a tasty lamb and mint sauce, defined this grape variety as the one to be the base for their future wine. in 2002 they found the place they aimed. A neglected property in the Marchigüe area -the Western end of the Colchagua Valley- met the soil and climate requirements needed to fulfill their dream. (below is a picture of the vineyard when they purchased it, and the picture on the right was taken after they had re-invigorated the property)
While they do produce other great wines, their Syrah is the flagship.
The decomposed granite (maicillo) gives the wine minerality and elegance, while clays provide body and structure. The moderate climate adds fruitiness and spicy notes, resulting in a fine, complex and harmonious wine in perfect balance.
