After bagging two international awards for the 2013 vintage Gran Cavalier Sauvignon Blanc DOK Malta at Vinitaly and the 2013 Medina Rosé Grenache IGT Maltese Islands in Bordeaux, Delicata wines have picked up three more awards at this year’s International Wine Challenge (IWC), held recently in London.

The three wines awarded were the 2013 Gran Cavalier Sauvignon Blanc DOK Malta which received a bronze medal and two commendations for the 2012 vintage Grand Vin de Hauteville Moscato DOK Malta Liqueur wine and the popular 2013 vintage Pjazza Regina Rosé IGT Maltese Islands made from a blend of Syrah and Carignan.

The official tasting note from the London Challenge for the Bronze medal-winning 2013 Gran Cavalier Sauvignon Blanc says: “Fresh citrus aromas on ripe lemons and limes, light and fresh on the palate, showing well-balanced fruit and lively acidity.”

The London International Wine Challenge, which started 31 years ago, is one of the most prestigious wine competitions in the world and highly ranked among many of the world’s leading wine critics.

These latest five awards bring Delicata’s international prize count up to an impressive 89, ranging across a variety of 30 different wines from their extensive portfolio.

What is particularly encouraging is that these five awards can be squarely put down to the first solo vintage of the very latest fourth- generation winemaking family member, Matthew Delicata.
