Delicata’s 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon DOK Malta Superior in the winery’s Grand Vin de Hauteville collection amassed a gold medal at the 2022 wine competition ‘Emozioni dal Mondo Merlot e Cabernet Insieme’.
This barrique-matured, robust Malta-grown Cabernet Sauvignon entices with a sweet and fruity nose and a rich palate filled with light black fruits and true classical varietal character, derived from selected hand-picked grapes and sorted berries.
The Emozioni dal Mondo Merlot e Cabernet Insieme contest is organised by the Vignaioli Bergamaschi S.C.A. It specifically reviews only wines made from the three red-skinned grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and is governed by the Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin (OIV).
When handled by a skilful winemaker like Matthew Delicata, locally-grown Cabernet Sauvignon can reach heights beyond expectations.
The roll of honour of the Grand Vin de Hauteville range is unrivalled in Malta. These Maltese boutique wines just keep on winning on the world stage, having won 4 previous medals in Bergamo and several other international awards including gold in Bordeaux, the spiritual home of Merlot and Cabernet.
