Description
‘Adon’ is a Maltese red wine made by a blooming boutique winery in Dingli. The winery might be small but compensates with a big heart as their passion evidently shows in the fantastic wines they produce. An elegant red wine predominantly made with the Maltese indigenous Ġellewża grape (46%), blend with Syrah (28%), Merlot (18%) and minor proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon (6%), Sangiovese (1%), and Girgentina skins (1%).
Tasting Notes:
A dry, medium bodied, complex red wine, showing a youthful ruby colour of red fruit with aromas of strawberry, sour cherry and plum, oak maturation of smoke, toast, sweet spices of vanilla and coconut, and a stony mineral finish. This wine has signs of leather, making it complex to change to a meaty style with age. The medium levels of acidity are in combination with the levels of tannin giving a long aftertaste buttery finish on the palate.
