Recensioni degli esperti

The Wine Advocate:

The 2016 Malkoa is 100% Hondarrabi Zuri from their estate vineyards on limestone, clay and sand soils, picked ripe (it's 13% alcohol) and kept in concrete with double lees (also the lees from another vintage) for two years before it was bottled. The bottles are also kept for a couple of years before they are released. I'd say this is a very good white wine rather than a Txakoli, as it doesn't follow the traditional style of a lightly fizzy and sharp young wine. This is more refined, with more depth and complexity, and the long aging has provided nuance and layers. This feels like a completely different wine from the 2014 I tasted before. It's solid and balanced, with a pleasant bitter twist in the finish. 5,500 bottles were filled in September 2018.

Decanter:

 Brilliantly vivid, multilayered and complex, with thrilling acidity and notes of jasmine, roasted almond and honey. Very long waxy and saline finish.
