In the summer of 2008, a bush fire ravaged Polkura Hill, threatening the vineyard and coming dangerously close to the Malbec vines. Thanks to the swift intervention of neighbors, disaster was averted. Previously a supporting element in the Polkura Syrah blend, the Malbec’s survival and exceptional quality after this near-tragedy inspired its standalone bottling. This wine embodies resilience and pays homage to the vineyard's unique terroir and community spirit. Rich, bold, and expressive, Polkura Malbec is a testament to the strength of nature and the human connection that preserved it.
