A project that builds on over a hundred years of expertise in wine production and which will continue to strengthen a quality Maltese product while creating added value for sectors such as agriculture and tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is exactly how European funds should work: not as an end in themselves, but as a catalyst for further private investment, creating productive assets, economic activity and opportunities that will remain in our country for many years,&#8221; said the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Abela noted that behind the Marnisi Wine Estate there is a history of a Maltese family enterprise that combines 107 years of experience in wine production with a new generation that continues to invest, innovate and build for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investment also combines tradition with modern technology and a commitment to sustainability. Marnisi is the only organically certified wine estate in Malta, with production methods that place importance on both product quality and environmental protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Prime Minister also stressed the contribution that such investments can make to the Maltese tourism product. The Marnisi Wine Estate offers an experience that combines Maltese wine with agriculture, gastronomy, architecture and landscape, while continuing to strengthen the tourism offer in the southern part of Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When a Maltese wine reaches an international table and is recognised for its quality, it is not simply a bottle being exported. It is carrying the name of Malta with it,&#8221; said Dr Abela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He concluded by saying that this investment represents confidence in Maltese enterprise, in the skills of our people and in Malta&#8217;s capacity to produce premium products that create value in our country and compete on an international level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prime Minister Robert Abela was accompanied by the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Supply Anton Refalo and the Minister for European Funds, Social Dialogue and Consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo: DOI\/OPM<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_59854\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"59854\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"http:\/\/livenewsmalta.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Robert Abela: Investment from a Maltese family business that combines tradition, innovation and the potential of sectors such as agriculture and tourism Prime Minister Robert Abela inaugurated the Marnisi Wine Estate, an investment of over \u20ac5.8 million by a Maltese family business, of which \u20ac2.2 million came from European funds.
