VERDALA PALACE
Malta's viticulture, like its history, dates back thousands of years but owes its revival and promulgation to the Knights of St. John who occupied the Islands from 1530 to 1798. Today the Island boasts a repertoire of fine wines. The passion and dedication to the nectar of the Gods' has produced a variety of wines of exceptional quality and palate, including several award-winning premium labels which are on a par with some of the finest wines. There are also various inexpensive but very enjoyable wines which the visitor to Malta can enjoy while savouring the Island's culinary delights. Special Reserve Red or White is a medium-bodied wine of unique character, while the Palazzo Verdala selection of White, Rosé or Moscato is a most suitable accompaniment to almost all Mediterranean cuisine, particularly fish dishes.
