The Delicata winery, Malta’s most awarded winemaker, has won a silver medal at the 2024
Muscat du Monde wine competition in France for their new Maltese wine Moscato Perlato.
The Muscats du Monde contest is the leading international wine tasting competition, now in
its 24 th year, that awards the best still and sparkling wines made from the Muscat or Moscato grape variety.
Organised by Forum Oenologie, it was held on July 11 in France’s Burgundy
region.
Truly an international challenge, the contest’s 55 expert judges tasted 145 wine samples
from 15 different countries. Delicata’s Moscato Perlato was the only wine hailing from Malta
to win.Moscato Perlato, Wine of Malta, is a naturally sweet wine with a moderate alcoholic strength of 4.5% vol. The wine has a delicate perlage consisting of tiny bubbles which are mainly noticeable on the palate and accentuate the wine’s fruity and grapey aromas and flavours.
The winning 2023 Moscato Perlato vintage is the winery’s maiden release of this new
Delicata wine which rendered a very limited amount of individually numbered bottles. Only
the best quality Moscato grapes of the 2023 harvest, hand-picked from specially earmarked
vineyard parcels in Malta, have been used.
This prestigious silver medal comes on the heels of another two bronze medals awarded to
the winery at the Decanter World Wine Awards just a few weeks ago.
Delicata, Malta’s foremost, fourth-generation family-run winery, has now won an unrivalled
total of 146 international awards to date.
