From the sun-drenched vineyards of La Consulta in Mendoza's Uco Valley, this exceptional Malbec is a testament to the expertise of Bodega Polo. Under the guidance of winemaker Tomás Stahringer, the estate has revitalised a historic winery in Luján de Cuyo, blending tradition with innovation to produce wines of remarkable character.
The Herencia La Palabra Malbec is crafted from 20-year-old vines situated at an altitude of 1,050 meters above sea level. The grapes are handpicked in small 17 kg cases to ensure optimal quality. The winemaking process involves fermentation in concrete vats, followed by extended maceration to extract maximum flavour and colour. The wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, with a further 12 months in bottle, allowing it to develop complexity and depth.
In the glass, the wine displays an intense red colour with violet hues. The nose is rich with aromas of ripe plums, violets, and subtle balsamic notes. On the palate, it is elegant and full-bodied, with a harmonious balance of fruit character and oak-derived flavours. The finish is long and complex, leaving a lasting impression.

Delivery Times
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
Vintages
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
Returns
If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
