Emmanuel Delicata entered their first international wine competition in 1995 and out of the five wines entered, four were given awards. Since then Delicata has been submitting more and more Maltese wines of their ever growing range and are now the proud holder of the title of Malta’s most awarded winery.
To date the company has already amassed well over 100 international medals and awards.
Amongst the awards received there are Silver medals from the Concorso Enologico Internazionale in Verona Italy and the prestigious International Wine Challenge in London, England. At the Chardonnay du Monde in Burgundy, France, Delicata’s Chardonnay wines have received both Silver and Bronze medals, and at the home of Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux France, Delicata’s Grand Vin de Hauteville won a Gold and a Silver at the International Challenge du Vin.
