Meridiana Wine Estate

Meridiana Wine Estate has pioneered in Malta the production of premium quality wines, “World-Class Wines of Maltese Character” – internationally acclaimed wines made from wine-grapes grown exclusively in Maltese soil. The enthusiastic reviews about Meridiana’s wines received from Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson have helped put Malta on the world’s wine-map. The name Meridiana and the estate’s sundial insignia have been inspired by our archipelago’s Southern European location. Today Meridiana produces up to 140,000 bottles of premium wines annually, allocated over ten distinguished labels…

Meridiana’s roots date back from 1985 as a result of a conversation between Mark Miceli-Farrugia, the company’s founder, and Bordeaux oenologist Denis Dubourdieu (Decanter Magazine Man of the Year 2016). The latter persuaded Mark that there was potential for high-quality wine growing in Malta. As a result, Meridiana Wine Estate was established in April 1987 under the counsel of oenologist Roger Aquilina. Meridiana’s pioneering mission has been to produce “World-Class Wines of Maltese Character” – internationally acclaimed wines made from wine-grapes grown exclusively on Maltese soil. The name Meridiana and the estate’s sundial insignia have been inspired by Malta’s Southern European location.
