K-Lys is an exceptional Malbec, sourced from a small clay-limestone plot in Cahors. Hand-harvested and vinified without sulfites, it benefits from a long, gentle maceration and aging for 24 months in oak casks followed by 24 months in concrete tanks. On the nose, it unfolds aromas of ripe black fruit and subtle spices. On the palate, its velvety and fleshy texture reveals a refined depth and a persistent finish, reflecting an authentic, elegant, and perfectly structured wine.
