The grape harvest season for wine production has opened in Malta and Gozo. As always, the harvest began with the early varieties Chardonnay and Moscato, and is expected to continue with the other varieties.
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights Anton Refalo officially opened the season, saying that the grape harvest is an important step that reminds us of the value of farmers whose work makes Maltese and Gozitan wines distinct and appreciated products.
He also noted that, despite each year bringing its own circumstances, the final product continues to stand out in its quality.
“This season is a testament to the commitment and dedication of our farmers who work every day to give us the best of what our land has to offer. Maltese and Gozitan wine is not only an agricultural product, but part of our identity as a country and a much-appreciated attraction for tourists who visit us,” said Minister Refalo.
The Minister concluded by thanking all farmers and producers involved in the wine production process and wished them a successful harvest season.
