Karl Chetcuti is the Estate Manager at Meridiana winery in Malta,

whose mission is to produce world class wines of Maltese character.

Over the past number of years Karl has grown that ideal to such

heights that his wines are now stocked in Michelin Starred

Restaurants in Paris. The winery is a 19-hectare site, reclaimed from

an air field used during the Second World War, and lies scenically

below the ancient walled-city of Mdina. The Estate was planted 1994

and 1995 with Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.

One thousand Moscato vines were planted in 2021. A picturesque,

purpose built winery was completed in 1996, constructed from the

characteristic, local chalk-coloured limestone. Visitors to Malta are

delighted to do a winery tour at Meridiana and sample some of their

ten labels in such a scenic setting. The wines have received rave

reviews from world renowned wine writers, are widely available in

Malta and are very reasonably priced. www.meridiana.com.mt
