This week Emmanuel Delicata released an exciting new sweet wine, a Grand Vin de Hauteville Moscato DOK Malta Liqueur Wine in an elegantly packaged 50cl clear glass bottle.

This unique, opulent, dessert wine is made entirely from hand-picked Malta-grown Moscato grapes and is rich and full-flavoured. With 15 per cent alcohol, this is Malta’s very first “home grown” DOK Liqueur wine.

The wine will form part of Delicata’s premium award-winning wine range, Grand vin de Hauteville which has in it an un-oaked Viognier, an oak-aged Chardonnay, a barrel-matured blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon and a barrel-matured Cabernet Sauvignon made entirely from late picked grapes, all in 75cl bottles. The new Moscato, however, comes in a convenient 50cl bottle. This four-glass bottle is the ideal size to accompany a dessert at the end of a meal, as a full six-glass 75cl bottle might be a little too much. This sweet wine is also ideal with rich patés, foie gras and many cheeses, especially blue cheeses such as Roquefort, gorgonzola and stilton. Another advantage with regards to this wine, is that if you don’t drink it all in one go, the wine will remain in good condition up to three to four weeks. This is because of its sweetness and its 15 per cent alcohol content. Simply stick the cork back in and ideally keep in the fridge. This is especially good news for wine bar owners and restaurateurs who want to serve a dessert wine by the glass but are afraid of wastage.

This wine is at its best when served well chilled and will especially appeal to any lovers of Delicata’s other sweet white wine, Casella Moscato.
