wine of malta - winery delicata
Winemaking
in Malta has gone through a revival in recent years and at the
forefront of that transformation is the islands' oldest and largest
winemaker Emmanuel Delicata.The wines they create reflect everything a modern wine consumer requires, fruit driven fresh wines that offer flavour, consistency and quality. The world's leading wine magazine DECANTER said of them "One of the major influences on the Maltese wine industry,
Emmanuel Delicata has helped bring modern technology and vineyard upgrading to the islands". It is that technology and upgrading that now gives their unique D.O.K. quality wines an exciting, new 'Fresh Taste of Malta'.
In recent years their wines have received over 60 internation awards including Gold and Silvers in Bordeaux, Burgundy and London.
These
refreshingly new fruit driven Malta wines are produced from grapes
grown in hundreds of dedicated family run vineyards, all selected and
managed by Delicata's team of expert viticulturalists.The majority of these vineyards are classified as D.D.K. vineyards growing both noble and indigenous grape varieties exclusively for Delicata. These unique native Maltese grapes play a vital role in the winemaking philosophy of this one hundred year old, fourth generation winemaker who have been championing their existence and revival for many years.
