Product Details

Code: TBET003

Ta'Betta embarked on a journey to realize a dream: that of making fine wines with personality and aging potential, which embody the terroir of a four-hectare estate. The terraced vineyards at Ta’ Betta are trellised along the north to south axis: in summer, the foliage and the shadow one trellis casts on the next, as the sun traverses east to west, allow one to protect the grapes from excessive direct sunshine. The boutique winery was built with weathered limestone blocks, blends an old-world charm with practical modern architectural touches.

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%).

Vibrant ruby red in color with a bright core. On the nose, initial aromas of graphite and leather give way to blackberry, rosehip, and dried fruit, with a distinct aftertaste of savory pepper. The palate has polished tannins and gently creamy development, with a clear fruit core and notable drive, the tannins slightly drying on the finish.
