I'm working in the limited Alarp, I can say
I'm going to Berbouba.
Behind me you can see
the oak trees
with their flowers.
They are in June
and the oak trees
with their mature flowers.
The oak trees
will start to open
and the vineyard will start to grow.
Of course,
summer is an important season
and it's important
for June
to have
the right temperature
not too hot
and not too cold.
Malta
has an ideal climate
to be able
to control it from the sea.
There is no extreme
temperature
neither in the morning nor in the evening.
The oak trees
have perfect maturation
and we
want our vineyard
to have
a high quality vineyard.
It's important
for Malta and Gozo
to have
a good vineyard
to have
a high quality vineyard.
Obviously,
the focus of our vineyard
is viticulture
and our viticulture
has to be high quality.
In every part
of our vineyard
there is a piece of land
that is being cultivated
and it becomes
a different part
of our vineyard
so that
we can have
a different quality vineyard.
For example,
when we do the blending
in our vineyard
we have to put
a lot of water
and water
so that
we can have a different
quality vineyard.
This is called
the remondar.
The remondar is
the green pruning.
In the vineyard,
we have to cut the leaves
and the branches
so that we can see the sun.
We have to cut
the branches
and the branches
so that the vine
can mature.
At the same time,
we have to cut the vine.
We have to cut the branches
so that we can see the sun
but it is important.
After that,
we have to wait
until the summer
so that at the same time
we can cut the vine
and the vine can mature.
We have to wait.
After we cut the vine,
we have to wait
until September
so that it can mature.
After that,
we have to cut the vine
so that we can sell it
at the winery.
This is a quality vineyard
that has a DOK certification.
The DOK certified it
and we have to get it
from the DOK
to have a quality certificate
so that we can make a quality wine
from the DOK vineyard.
This is the vineyard
that we have cut
for the vineyard.
This is the vineyard
that we have cut
for the Vermentino vineyard.
This is the vineyard
that we have cut
for the Chardonnay vineyard.
The Chardonnay, the Vermentino
and some other vineyards
that produce
some of our best wines.
What do we need?
We need blending
to give the wine a variety
and an important taste.
When we give the wine
to famous people
and they come to blend it,
they will produce some wines
that will win
9 international competitions.
Now, we will try
to use
traditional methods.
As you can see behind me,
we have a stainless steel
but the method
is the same as in the past.
We don't use
advanced technology
but the quality
of the wine,
of the juice
is not that good.
We have tried
traditional methods
in the past
to use the method
of manual pressing.
The presser chooses
the top of the vine
and the juice
is prepared in the morning.
The quality of the wine
is not that good.
It starts
from the top
where the vine
is placed.
The vine has to be big
according to the regulations
of the vineyard.
There are limitations
in the production.
The wine is bought
in the canteen
where the presser
comes to press
the wine.
In the vineyard,
the wine is kept
for 6 months.
The wine is sent
abroad to Italy
where the certificate
is issued
on the label
of the wine.
In our case,
it is the same.
We have different types of vines.
We have the Cabernet Franc
and the Cabernet Sauvignon.
We start by breaking the vine
and removing the stalk
of the vine.
We do not remove the stem
of the vine.
The fermentation
of the wine starts
when we add the yeast.
The yeast
absorbs the natural sugar
of the vine.
The grape juice
becomes the wine
and the sugar becomes alcohol.
When we make the white wine,
the skin of the vine
should be removed
before the fermentation.
But the secret of the red wine
is in the skin.
When we make the red wine,
the skin is not removed
and the fermentation
of the wine affects the skin.
Why?
Because the skin
is responsible for the color
of the wine.
The color of the skin
affects the taste
of the wine.
The more the skin
absorbs the wine,
the more the color of the wine
The fermentation of the wine
affects the wine
and the skin.
I would like to gather
the local
and foreign tourists
to come here
and try the local wine.
What do we do?
When you buy a bottle
from Italy,
you go to Italy.
When you buy a bottle
from the West,
you go to the place
where the wine is made.
Why?
So that we don't have
a tradition
where the wine dies
and rots.
We want to see
a world where everything
is made in a hurry
and the quality
is low.
Our idea
was to invite
people to come
and have a unique experience.
We want to gather
a lot of people
to have a taste of Malta.
It is the best wine
in our region.
We want to have
this advantage.
Why?
Because
when people come
to our house
to taste our wine,
they come to Malta.
The gastronomic culture
of Malta
will help us
to make
a unique experience
for our guests
in Malta.
