Clos Troteligotte K-Or Malbec 2020

The ever-innovative Emmanuel (Manu) Rybinski is without question Cahors’ hottest young star. Overseeing 24 acres on the plateau of Villeseque, Emmanuel Rybinski tends to some of the best terroir in Cahors. Emmanuel’s 24 acre estate sits atop an iron rich plateau on the southern border of the appellation. The iron chunks scattered atop this vineyard are so pure you could sell them to a smelter. The property is unusually high in elevation with allows Emmanuel to farm organically with ease (he is above the fog line and therefore has no issues with mildew). Rows are plowed by horse and spaced tightly.

K-Or Is the most obviously savoury and mineral wine in Emmanuel’s lineup. Grapes are harvested early for appellation standards and fermented/aged in unlined concrete squares. 30 day maceration. Aged for 18 months in concrete vessels. - Ergo Wines, importer
