The wine region of Pitsilia
Cypriot PDO with Europe's highest vineyards (1,000–1,520 m) on the eastern slopes of the Troodos, volcanic soils. Autochthonous Xynisteri is the signature white — taut and mineral with lively notes of green apple, white peach, citrus, flowers and an altitude saline touch, brilliant acidity. Autochthonous Mavro, structured Maratheftiko and rare Yianoudi as signature reds with red fruits, spices and mineral touch. Authentic Cypriot mountain identity.
The wine region of Lefkosia
Central Cypriot region around Nicosia, altitude vineyards on limestone and volcanic soils. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot: structured reds with blackcurrant, black cherry, plum and herbal hints, firm tannins. Maratheftiko and Yiannoudi: deep indigenous reds with dark fruits, spice and smoky touch. Xynisteri and Promara: crisp whites with citrus, flowers and mineral touch.
The word of the wine: Downy mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Downy mildew is formidable because it attacks all the organs, from the stem to the grapes, including the leaves, in depth. It was against it that the famous copper and lime-based Bordeaux mixture was developed.
