Clos Troteligotte K-Nom MalbecA Malbec from the grape's traditional French home of Cahors, K Nom adds a touch of Merlot for finesse. Grapes are sourced from the Clos Troteligotte organic and biodynamic vineyards of high elevation, with unique calcareous clay siderolithic soils, (red clay soil of limestone rich in iron). Initial cold maceration followed by fermentation with natural native yeasts, manual punching down and a second maceration. The wine was aged in unlined concrete

The palate is satisfyingly sweet with lots of honey lingering on the finish

Hand harvested grapes from their high altitude vineyards that are aged in oak for 8 months create an excellent example

Hand harvested grapes go through traditional vinification with wine aged on lees for up to 3 months to retain aromatic complexity and texture

Restrained dark berry and ripe plum aromas with incredible depth of flavour on the palate of velvety tannins
