The eighth edition of the Marsovin Summer Wine Festival is being held this weekend at Hastings gardens in Valletta.

The aim of the festival is to promote Marsovin’s certified D.O.K and I.G.T wines produced from vineyards in Malta and Gozo. Marsovin’s newest wine, Blanc De Cheval was also launched at the festival, opened yesterday by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat.

 ‘Blanc de Cheval’ is a premium white wine produced from one of Marsovin’s own estates in the Ramla valley estate in Gozo. This wine is mostly made from chardonnay and Pinot Bianco grape varieties.

Artists in this year’s line-up include Red Electrick, giving an unplugged acoustic set; Airport Impressions, one of the most successful bands to have emerged locally in recent years; The Creepers, a cutting edge vintage blues band; and Kazinska a talented seven-piece ensemble giving their own cool interpretation of band marches.

Those attending the festival can buy a €15 token package fee, which includes a premium festival wine glass to take home and €15 worth of wine tokens, with which one can either taste up to 20 different wines or drink a selection of wines by the glass or by the bottle. A variety of non-alcoholic refreshments are also available.
