Delicata launches ŻIFFA wine collection
Malta’s leading Delicata winery proudly announces the release of ŻIFFA, a new proprietary brand of four winery-bottled wines inspired by open skies, distant coastlines and the gentle rhythm of unhurried living.
ŻIFFA comprises two single varietal white wines, namely a Sauvignon Blanc with the vibrant taste of lemon and lime and a Chenin Blanc with layers of ripe fruit flavours reminiscent of sweet pear and melon. The rosé blend is harmoniously balanced with a fruity core of ripe red berries. And, last but not least, there is the ŻIFFA Syrah, a full-flavoured red wine with the intensity of cassis and dark berry fruit.
Whether crisp and refreshing or rich and layered, each bottle captures a sense of the unhurried Mediterranean pace.
Named after the Maltese word for ‘breeze’, ŻIFFA combines a focus on varietal character with a highly refined design language tailored for today’s lifestyle-conscious consumer.
As winemaker Matthew Delicata stated: “We have drawn on the competences of our winery’s state-of-the-art bottling hall and design expertise to deliver an appealing collection.”
All wines in the ŻIFFA collection are certified vegan. Importantly, the empty bottles are returnable and reusable, underscoring Delicata’s dedication to environmentally responsible practices.
The slender, high-profile glass bottle elevates the assortment’s airy aesthetic. It incorporates subtle raised silhouette lines, visually and tactically echoing the wavy lines printed on the labels and capsules.
The labels are stamped on textured uncoated stock and treated with selective raised varnish to highlight the flowing ŻIFFA mark and type. A discreet foil accent in the brand name’s font adds refinement without compromising the label’s clean composition. Muted hues in dreamy blue, peach and sand dominate on the sophisticated core label.
The capsule that protects the DIAM cork closure is finished in a soft matte metallic tone, proudly embossed with the brand’s breeze-inspired Ż insignia, creating a tactile quality feel and a cohesive sensory experience.
Retailing in shops at €7.67 or less per bottle, the ŻIFFA range offers accessible quality without compromise.
A surprise unveiling at the recent Delicata Classic Wine Festival demonstrated ŻIFFA’s immediate appeal and strong potential in the market.
More than just a wine, through the ŻIFFA brand Delicata also aims to strengthen the winery’s support for local charitable initiatives and the arts. ŻIFFA is set to make waves and to reaffirm Delicata’s role as Malta’s innovative winery.
