Malta

Malta is a small island nation located in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Sicily. While not as well-known as other wine regions, Malta has a long history of wine production dating back to the Phoenicians and Romans. The country's warm, sunny climate and limestone soils provide ideal conditions for growing grapes.

The main grape varieties grown in Malta are Gellewza and Ghirgentina, which are indigenous to the island. Gellewza is a red grape that produces light-bodied, fruity wines, while Ghirgentina is a white grape that produces crisp, refreshing wines. In recent years, international grape varieties such as Syrah, Merlot, and Chardonnay have also been planted in Malta.

Malta, a Mediterranean gem, celebrates the Ġellewża grape, indigenous to the islands. Its name is derived from Arabic, meaning "young walnut," evoking the grape's rich flavor profile and its deep-rooted connection to Malta's cultural tapestry.
