The Story of Maltese Wine
Wine born from sun and limestone
Malta's winemaking history stretches back over 2,000 years, shaped by Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs and Knights. The island's unique limestone soil and 300 days of sunshine create wines unlike anywhere else in the Mediterranean.
Indigenous grape varieties like Gellewza and Girgentina produce wines with a character that can only come from this tiny island. Most visitors never discover the extraordinary wineries hidden in Malta's ancient valleys.

The Knights of Malta
The Knights of St John cultivated vineyards across Malta from the 16th century. Their legacy lives on in the island's winemaking tradition — a blend of ancient craft and Mediterranean soul.
