Astobiza, Malkoa Rosé, DO Arabako Txakolina, Spain, 2024 (Case) Tenuta Olim Bauda liquorice and plums leading toMalkoa displays great elegance and finesse, reflecting a salmon colour and a frank aroma, highlighting mentholated and herbaceous notes of scrubland, with wild red fruits and mineral notes of a marked Atlantic character. On the palate, its balance, silkiness, and great volume stand out, with a very long, persistent, and savoury finish. It concludes with a mineral acidity bitterness and has the potential to live for many years in the bottle.
