Television Programmes
Did you know that the Maltese language is a unique blend of Sicilian and Maghrebi Arabic? Enjoy the following video in Maltese with English subtitles from Claire Aguis as she talks with Anthony about the vineyards, grape varieties, and wines!
Our vineyards are the perfect backdrop for Maltese television programmes. We were grateful to talk about our near 100-year old family history with local producer Noelene Miggiani from `Wirt u Eredi`. This documentary features our family's three generations of winemakers. (Video is in Maltese)
Family History
This is a scan of a diploma of merit presented to our ancestor Carmelo Hili, pertaining to a 1937 vintner's competition. The certificate is signed by Sir Harry Luke, the then Lieutenant Governor of the Crown Colony of Malta.
Below are some of the earliest photos of the Hili family and the original founders of the winery. The photo on the left shows a 1930s family portrait of the original founders of the winery, while the photo on the right shows Carmel Hili next to the prehistoric Sansuna Rock in Xagħra , belonging to the Bronze Age Period
