From the winery:
This is without a doubt the most interesting vintage in the history of Polkura. At least at the cellar it was the vintage that has caused the most sighs when blending the wines. 2018 was neither warm nor cold. The yields were neither very large nor very small. The acidity is well balanced. Perfection doesn’t exist, but if all vintages were like 2018, our job would be very easy. We simply let nature take its course. This Malbec, when compared to previous years, has two important changes: first, the volume increased. For those that follow Polkura wines closely will have noticed that we skipped over the 2017 vintage, and because of the good quality, we were able to compensate for last year. Secondly, instead of the usual Petit Verdot, the final wine has 13% Syrah.
Intense ruby red color. Violet notes appear on the nose, together with black fruit and a hint of rosemary. On the palate, the wine is powerful, with intense tannins that are also well integrated and in balance with the sweetness of the alcohol. The wine is very complex and the flavors remain on the palate for a very long time. The finish is long and slow.
