Polkura Winery is a testament to the love of Syrah. Founded in 1998 by winemaker Sven Bruchfield and his friend Gonzalo Munoz, the winery's roots trace back to a memorable tasting in southern France. While studying in Spain, Gonzalo and Sven met near Narbonne, where a Mediterranean-style Syrah paired with lamb ignited their vision for a wine project together.
Upon returning to Chile, the duo sought the perfect location to cultivate high-quality grapes. In 2002, they discovered a neglected property in Marchigüe, at the western end of the Colchagua Valley. The land's unique soil and climate conditions were ideal for their aspirations, leading to the planting of 12 hectares of vineyards. Today, Polkura Winery is celebrated for its exceptional wines, which have garnered numerous awards both locally and internationally.
Situated less than 30 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean, Polkura Winery benefits from a distinctive terroir. The nearby mountain range shields the valley from direct sea breezes, creating a unique microclimate that enhances the quality of the grapes. This combination of marine and mountainous influences contributes to the rich flavors found in Polkura's wines.
