Malta hosted its first Gato Negro rooftop party at the Royal Malta Yacht Club, Ta’ Xbiex.

The event hosted the first 200 Gato, who were the quickest at submitting their application for a free invitation via social media. The night showcased a memorable partnership between this charming Chilean wine brand and the summer magic Maltese venues are known to offer.

Wine lovers in Malta joined others across the globe in celebrating the often overlooked fun aspect of wine as numerous Gato Negro rooftop parties were being celebrated across the globe.

On the night, a Gato Negro bar poured the full range of varietal wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère and Chardonnay. Particularly flowing were the refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, the Rosé produced from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and the attractive Pinot Noir, an ideal red for hot summer nights. The party boasted numerous Gato-branded features across the rooftop, including artist Joseph Barbara creating a custom Gato Negro painting for the night.
