Antonin Blanc

Marsovin is one of Malta’s best-established wineries, founded by Chevalier Anthony Cassar more than a century ago. What began as a small operation purchasing grapes from local farmers developed over successive generations into a modern winery with five private estates across Malta and Gozo. Today, the company is led by Jeremy Cassar, the founder’s great-grandson, and its historic cellars house more than 220 oak barrels used for ageing premium red wines.

Antonin Blanc is produced from selected Chardonnay grapes harvested from the Ramla Valley Estate in Gozo.

Barrel Fermentation and ageing on the lees for up to 12 weeks in new oak barrels contributes an important aspect to the wine’s essential character with aromas of vanilla and burnt toast giving way to crisp citrus and apple notes on the palate. It is full and round in the mouth and whilst retaining a fruity Chardonnay character, the subtle nuance of oak adds finesse and complexity.
