Grand Maitre 2002

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.

Produced under the exclusive appointment of the Maltese Association Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Grand Maître is an exceptional wine that pays homage to a different Grand Master in chronological order. The 2015 vintage honors the Fra Nicolas Cotoner, the 61st Prince and Grand Master of the Order of Malta.

Grand Maître is crafted from a premium blend of hand-picked Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, carefully harvested from our privately owned estate, Għajn Riħana, nestled in the serene foothills between Bidnija and Wardija. It is the epitome of our commitment to quality and winemaking.

The aromas are of an intense black fruit character with ripe, integrated and supple tannins. On the palate it shows complexities of tar and leather combined with an oaky spicy character of cinnamon and liquorice. This wine can age for a long time and is also a collector’s item.
