San Niklaw Estates is a family-owned estate located in the southeastern part of Malta, near the town of Żejtun. The estate encompasses vineyards, an olive grove with over 400 olive trees, and a winery with a cellar dating back to the 19th century.
The olive grove consists of indigenous trees as well as varieties such as Frantoio, Carolea, Coratina, Ascolano, and Bella di Spagna. Harvesting is done by hand in October, and processing takes place immediately on the estate using modern Italian equipment.
Their philosophy is to create high-quality products that reflect the local terroir while preserving tradition and demonstrating a commitment to excellence.
