Last week hundreds of Delicata clients and vignerons trurned up at the company’s winery for Christmas drinks.

The annual event took place in Delicata’s fermentation hall where a selection of the winemakers’ DOK and IGT quality wines were made freely available for their guests to try.

As well as clients from Malta’s retail, hotel, restaurant and catering sectors, a large number of the company’s many vine growers turned up for the event.

“Each year more and more of our clients attend and this year we had a full house and this is a big place to fill up,” said a spokesman from Delicata.

“We estimate that some 450 people made the effort to attend and we are delighted. We were especially happy to see so many of our grape growers at the winery.

“These farmers play a fundamental role in our business and a close relationship with them is essential.

“Delicata also took the opportunity to show off the recently announced 2011 Peoples Choice Award winning wines together with the winemaker’s most recent release, the Grand Vin de Hauteville Moscato DOK Malta Liqueur wine.

The company’s three medal winners are Gran Cavalier barrel-matured Syrah, voted best red wine; Grand Vin de Hauteville Viognier, voted best white wine and, finally, Ġellewża Rosé Frizzante, voted best rosé.
