Wine Explorers' word
The Astarte 2019 cuvée reveals a very pure expression of the Vermentino, with intense aromas of tropical fruits, citrus and white flowers. In the mouth, there are fresh citrus fruits with a tense and saline finish.

Meridiana is undoubtedly the flagship of Maltese viticulture! Its vineyard, halfway between Sicily to the north and Tunisia to the west, is influenced by a temperate Mediterranean climate, magnifying noble grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Vermentino, Merlot, Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon. Wines with freshness, delicacy and with a subtle salinity on the palate. Magnificent.
