Philippe Villiers

Ta’ Betta Wine Estate comprises of 4 hectares of terraced land situated circa 200 meters above sea-level in an area known as the Contrada ta’ Brija in Girgenti limits of Siġġiewi, Malta. There are circa 15,000 vines planted on site and around 200 olive trees apart from fig trees, carob trees and miscellaneous indigenous Maltese flora.

Inspired by Philippe Villiers de l’Isle Adam, the French Grand Master warrior-knight who took over Malta in 1530 after the loss of Rhodes to the Ottoman Empire.

This robust blend of Syrah (70%) with Cabernet Franc (30%) typically conveys forest-fruit on the nose with undertones of tobacco, black and bell pepper.
