Maltese wine is produced on the islands of Malta and Gozo, where the Mediterranean climate provides ideal conditions for grape cultivation. The region is known for its unique indigenous grape varieties, such as Gellewza and Ghirghentina, which contribute to the distinct flavors of Maltese wines. The wine industry in Malta has a rich history, dating back to ancient times when the Phoenicians introduced viticulture. Today, local wineries produce a range of wines, including reds, whites, and rosés, often showcasing the islands' terroir and traditional winemaking techniques.
