Cyprus’s Vineyard Treasure Trove – by Dr. Jose Vouillamoz A very interesting article by Dr. Jose Vouillamoz (co- author of Wine Grapes) on a recent visit to Cyprus about indigenous varieties, where Marcos invited him to see our ‘Margelina’ vineyard from 1921.

We received 2 silver medals at the 10th Cyprus Wine Competition, held from 3-5 May in Paphos. Over 140 samples of Cyprus’ wines were tasted by an international jury panel. Our Shiraz-Lafkada 2015 and our Xynisteri 2016 both received a silver medal.

We are delighted to see that our wines performed well again in this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards! We are especially excited that our Shiraz-Lefkada 2013 received 91 points; the patience to age this wine a bit longer in our cellar was rewarded. Our 2017 competition results are as follows: Shiraz- Lefkada 2013 – Silver – 91 Points Xynisteri 2016 – Bronze – 88 Points Rose 2016 – Bronze – 87 Points Maratheftiko 2015 – Bronze – 86 Points For
