The Île de Gozo appellation, located in Malta, is designated with the DOK (Denominazzjoni ta' Origini Kontrollata) status, which guarantees the origin and quality of the wines produced in this region. Gozo, the second largest island in the Maltese archipelago, benefits from an ideal Mediterranean climate for viticulture, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The island's limestone soils add a unique mineral dimension to the wines, enhancing their complexity and elegance.
Producers in Gozo strive to combine traditional and modern techniques to create harmonious and expressive wines. The grape varieties cultivated include international varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay, as well as indigenous grapes like Gellewza and Ghasri, which give the wines a distinctive local identity. These wines are characterised by their fruity character, vibrant freshness, and subtle floral aromas.
The DOK Île de Gozo, with its blend of tradition and innovation, offers wine enthusiasts a unique sensory experience that reflects Gozo's rich cultural heritage and exceptional natural environment.
