Description
Adon, meaning Lord, carries a deeply personal significance, named after the winemaker’s son, Markus, whose second name it bears. Despite his young age, Markus has been an influential presence in the winemaking process, showing a natural curiosity and passion for the craft. Adon reflects this shared journey—a wine that bridges generations, celebrating heritage, family, and the artistry of blending Malta’s indigenous grapes with international varieties. Adon is a dynamic red wine that blends Malta’s heritage with modern winemaking. Showcasing Ġellewża fermented with Girgentina skins, two of Malta’s indigenous treasures, it is complemented by bold Syrah and a selection of other varieties, adjusted yearly to reflect the vintage. Predominantly aged in French oak, with a touch of American oak for added complexity, Adon represents the energy of youth and the spirit of experimentation.
Tasting Notes :
The wine reveals multi-dimensional aromas of black pepper, fresh and ripe black fruits like blackberry and blackcurrant, red fruits such as red cherries and strawberry, with herbal thyme and herbaceous grassy undertones. Secondary aromas reveal butter, cream, vanilla, coconut, cedar, sweet spices, and sandalwood, leather, forest floor, mushroom, and a slight vegetal character. The wine is dry with high acidity and full body. The robust tannins and medium alcohol provide balance and structure, while pronounced intensity delivers a bold and elegant profile. Flavors mirror the nose, with a medium-plus finish showcasing garrigue and thyme herbs.
