Grand Maitre 2021

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 2021 vintage honors the esteemed Fra' Ramon Despuig.

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.

Deep in ruby color the fruity nature of the wine, mainly black cherries and raspberries, is balanced with elements of sweet spice on the nose. The palate is very similar in nature, having a full-bodied structure whilst also carrying hints of oak and vanilla.
