Delicata releases the first 2017 vintage Medina wines

The latest 2017 vintage of the Medina range of award-winning, boutique Malta-grown wines by the Delicata winery has been bottled for distribution on the domestic market in Malta and Gozo.

Medina is a collection of 10 unoaked, fruity wines made from hand-picked grapes. The range consists of four blends and six mono-varietals.

The blends comprise the pair of two white wines, one which is made from Chardonnay with Malta’s native Girgentina and another one from Vermentino with Zibibbo, a dry rosé blend of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon and a vibrant red wine of the three varieties Syrah, Grenache and Carignan.

The six single varietals are a 100% Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese, all harvested from selected family-run vineyards.

While the white and rosé wines are already available for purchase, customers will have to wait for their favourite Medina reds until after 1 March since the law doesn’t allow them to be released sooner.

A selection of Medina wines will be served at a student-run Anfora food and wine pairing dinner at The Pembroke Suite of the Institute of Tourism Studies on Thursday, 1 March. For the menu and reservations visit http://bit.do/anfora.

Delicata is also hosting two themed wine-tasting sessions at their winery’s tasting vaults, one conducted in Maltese today and another one March. in English on 8 For bookings, visit www.delicata.com
