Two different wines and countries

Time to go to two different places in Europe. First one is a wine from Malta. Totally unknown wine country for me and almost impossible to find any wines from Malta in Sweden. It is called Emmanuel Delicata Pjazza Regina and has an alcohol level of 12 %. The taste is sharp and not that much more. An easy drinking wine. Drink it now and don't let it lie on the shelf.

The next wine I go back to Italy and my favourite wine producing region in Italy, namely Alto Adige. It is a sweet red wine from producer Franz Haas called Schweizer from 2008 made by Moscato Rosa grapes. When drinking it reminded me somewhat of Madiera wines but with a much lower alcohol level 12%. Very nice and not that sweet and worked well together with Strawberries. Will see if I can find more wines by this producer next week when I will be visiting Alto Adige.

Not many times that I have the chance to try a wine 14 years old and that does not cost a fortune. This was quite cheap so my expectations were not that high. Did they sell it out because it was going bad and had to get rid of it or maybe no one likes old rieslings?

The nose of the wine was very good. Apples and a very typical riesling smell. Very nice. The taste was good. I missed a bit of acid and it felt like it had reached its peak and would go down in a years time. Very delightful summer wine and happy time for me as old rieslings are good.
