Ta Mena History
Karmena Spiteri known as ‘Mena’ started selling fresh fruits and vegetables from her own fields in the valley of Marsalforn at the beginning of the seventies. She was the first in the Maltese Islands to embark on such a venture. Few believed she could ever make a living for her large family by selling her own fresh products daily to Gozitans, Maltese and tourists travelling to Gozo but oh how wrong they were!
To this day, her passion lives on through the immensely proud Spiteri family who supplies clients all over the world.
Wine from the Gods (Literally)
These wines are certified Gozo DOK which is the highest certification in Malta. Grown in the Marsalforn Valley, they reflect the Gozitan character and only use locally grown, handpicked grapes and natural fertilisers. Named after ancient Gods their wines are delicate and well balanced, fruity and full-bodied due to the sunny Mediterranean climate and particular terroir. Sea salt is blown into the vines by the strong Mediterranean wind that leaves a hint of sea salt on the grapes, also called the ‘island effect’. Matured in French Oak barrels for 12 months with very limited filtering preserves their toasted, spicy aromas and flavours.
