Over 30 wines to taste at the P Cutajar Wine Experience
Seven wine masters have teamed up with P Cutajar for this year’s Wine Experience that will offer tradespeople, wine buffs and patrons a chance to taste over 30 different wines from around the world.
Now in its sixth year, the P. Cutajar Wine Experience has become an established date for those who would like to taste a large number of wines of different grape varieties. The extensive range of wines imported and distributed by P Cutajar hail from various regions including the famous regions of Burgundy, Piedmont, Puglia and Sicily, all very popular among Maltese consumers.
P. Cutajar is also announcing its exclusive distribution of a new range of Maltese wines on the local market - Sarosa wines from the Maria Rosa Winery. Sarosa wines will be introduced at the Wine Experience with free tastings and a tutorial focusing on this exciting new fare.
Maria Rosa Winery is located in Mriehel, limits of Attard. It is a small family run winery with 4.2 hectares of vines surrounded by agricultural land and growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Sirakuzan. Wine production started in 2008 yielding 12,000 bottles. Bottling started in 2011 after letting the wine age in French oak barrels in the cellars. The 2008 production is DOK certified.
By popular demand, as in previous years, a number of wine workshops of 45-minute duration will be organised over both days. Representatives from Italian estates Bersano, Pasqua and Martini, as well as from France’s Grand Chais de France, Laroche and Bouchard Aine et Filswill hold different tutorials between 8pm and 10pm. Booking for these tutorials is a must as space is limited.
Patrons who would like a special treat on the night can also book for the Fine Wines Tutorial being introduced for the first time by P. Cutajar. Participants can delight their taste buds and let their tongues roll over a Nuits Saint-Georges or a Gevrey Chambertin from the 2007 vintage, a 2006 Pommard or Meursault, a 2008 Puligny-Montrrachet and a Pouilly-Fuisse from the 2009 vintage. These wines come from the estate of Bouchard Aine et Fils. The tutorial has a booking price of €20 (entrance fee included). This is the only tutorial with a booking fee. All bookings can be made by calling Adrian Pace on 21448466, via email to [email protected] or via SMS to 99223633.
“We invite the public to join us in our annual celebration of viticulture,” said Denis Zammit Cutajar, Sales and Marketing Director at P. Cutajar & Co Ltd. “Building on the successes of past years, we are showcasing a great selection of wines for sampling in a perfect summer setting, with the assistance of our foreign partners who every year contribute with passion and enthusiasm to the success of our event.”
The Wine Experience opens from 7.30 pm to 10.30 pm and persons under 17 years of age will not be admitted. Patrons will also have the opportunity to buy any of the wines they like, which can later be delivered to their homes at no charge.
The Wine Experience is being held on Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th July at Razzett l-Abjad in San Gwann. Entrance is priced at only €5 and tasting is free.
