Amber liqueur wine obtained by sun-drying Xynisteri white (85-95%) and Mavro red grapes for 7-10 days, minimum 2-year barrel aging. Enchanting profile with intense notes of raisins, fig, candied apricot, honey, caramel, and gentle spices. Natural at 14% or fortified at 15-20%.

Cyprus's largest wine region on the southern slopes of the Troodos around Limassol (Krasochoria). Signature native grapes.

Xynisteri star in white: dry and mineral (citrus, green apple, herbs, saline touch), taut, thirst-quenching palate.
