Malta is an archipelago with a winemaking history that spans millennia, a legacy inherited from the Phoenicians. Despite being one of the world’s smallest wine-producing nations, its viticulture is highly concentrated and distinct. The unique terroir, shaped by a Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soils, is ideal for both international and indigenous grapes. Look for the local Girgentina (white) and Gellewza (red) varieties, which offer a true taste of the island’s unique character.
