In recent weeks Marcus Ekman, the Head of International Sales for the luxury Swedish rose wine brand Bodvar of Sweden, visited the Delicata winery, together with two winning contestants from a leading waterfront restaurant in Stockholm.

The winners this year were Evelina Wernström and Emelie Sydow, who were in Malta on a prized long week-end, courtesy of the entrepreneurs own label sparkling rose wine ‘Bodvar of Sweden’. They were here representing the Strandbryggan restaurant, which won the 2011 annual competition that ran throughout Sweden to recognise the restaurant selling the most bottles of the prestigious ‘lifestyle rose’ wine brand during the year.

Bodvar of Sweden is an own label export version of Delicata’s Gellewza Rose Frizzante that has been produced for Swedish entrepreneur Bodvar Hafstrom exclusively by Delicata for over six years. The wine is sold throughout Sweden’s V.I.P. lounge bar and restaurant sector and has become one of the country’s leading premium sparkling rose wine brands.

During the visit Marcus Ekman also tasted and gave approval to the new 2011 vintage of the Rose Gellewza Frizzante I.G.T. Maltese Islands wine, which he and his guests tasted straight from the pressurized stainless steel temperature controlled tanks during their tour of the Delicata winery.
