Gebal 2021
Reserve Cabernet Franc of Malta
Gebal is crafted exclusively from locally grown, hand-picked, and carefully selected Cabernet Franc grapes, vinified to Meridiana’s exacting standards.
This deep ruby-red wine, with a purple rim, boasts complex ripe berry aromas, full-bodied fruit flavors, well-rounded tannins, and a long, lingering finish. Aged for 12 months in French oak barriques and an additional 9 months in the bottle, it is ready to enjoy now but will continue to evolve with further ageing.
The name Gebal (modern-day Byblos) pays homage to the ancient Phoenician port city, believed to be the first city built by Cronus and one of the world’s oldest inhabited places. Like Malta’s capital, Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Byblos holds historical significance and is among its twin cities.
Bottle Ageing Potential – Although this wine is ready to drink now, it should benefit from
further bottle ageing. Ageing potential – 25/30 years
