In the southern hemisphere, the sun comes from the north. In the POLKURA vineyard, the most interesting sites are definitely those oriented towards the south, with less direct sunlight and therefore a lower heat accumulation, resulting in much more elegant wines. 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.

Notes

2017 was the warmest year we’ve ever registered. It was a good opportunity to
harvest early and avoid any overripeness. However, we did have to harvest very
quickly. Without a doubt it was the right decision, because the resulting wines,
despite the heat, show good balance and finesse that characterize Polkura’s wines.
