Polkura Winemaker Social

Join us Thurs. Sept. 12th from 6-8pm as Bitto Bistro welcomes the winemaker from Chilean producer, Polkura! They will be bringing four of their wines from the Colchagua Valley for you to purchase. Their Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Have an opportunity to taste the flight and geek out with the man who made it! And as always, live music on Thursdays, so there’s no excuse! Wines will be available for purchase in the shop as well. Save the date and see you there!
The passion for Syrah is the concept that best defines the nature of POLKURA. Their journey started in 1998, when winemaker Sven Bruchfeld along with his friend and university buddy Gonzalo Muñoz, were dreaming of future projects to do together. Gonzalo was studying in Spain and Sven was working during vintage in different wine regions around the world. 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.
Once both were back in Chile, they set out to find the best place to develop a vineyard in order to maximize the grape quality and therefore the wine they had in mind.
This is how 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. So stop on in and taste a flight of dreams!
