From Mr S. Micallef

I would like to congratulate Marsovin vinters for their commendable initiative to inform the public about the local grape harvest in their privately owned estates and from the contracted vineyards.

Besides the interesting information regarding the yields during 2004, it was extremely interesting how, with a brief comment, Marsovin managed to embrace the full cycle of the climatic conditions that characterised a particularly positive harvest, which we will surely enjoy while sipping one of Marsovin’s specialties produced from local grapes.

Once again congratulations to Marsovin for stating publicly the exact quantities of grapes harvested from the various estates around Malta and Gozo. Such statements go a very long way in giving the local wine industry the credibility it has been building over many years.

Furthermore, it would also be interesting if other local vintners follow suit and help us wine drinkers gain a better understanding of Maltese winemaking and the whole range of wines produced from grapes grown in Malta and Gozo.
