Zambartas Xynisteri

Zambartas Xynisteri

Xynisteri is the most widely planted white grape in Cyprus, and for a long time it was underestimated. Traditionally, it was used mainly for bulk wine or for Commandaria, but over the last couple of decades it’s really shown its potential.

What makes Xynisteri special is its versatility, it’s a true chameleon. Depending on where it’s grown and how it’s made, it can be fresh and citrusy, textured and mineral, or even complex enough to age.

– Aromatic, light bodied, crisp acidity –

SKU: ZAM01 Category: Tags: , ,

Description

Grape type: 100% Xynisteri- Omodos, Agios Amvrosios, Mandria and Pachna.

Vinification: This Xynisteri is a fresh expression of Cyprus’ most widely planted indigenous white variety, sourced from high-altitude vineyards across the Limassol region. Fermented mostly in stainless steel with a small portion in oak, using different temperatures to build a range of aromas, the wine is bright, balanced and full of character.

Tasting notes: A refreshing wine with aromas of citrus, white flowers, stone fruits and some bergamot.

Food pairing: This wine can be drank on its own but also pairs beautifully with grilled halloumi, green salad and legumes.

  • Zambartas Sémillon- Sauvignon Blanc

    Semillon–Sauvignon Blanc is our quiet classic and, in fact, one of our best sellers. While many of our wines focus on indigenous Cypriot varieties, this blend reflects the international side of Zambartas and Marcos’ winemaking experience abroad. Semillon brings softness and texture, while Sauvignon Blanc adds freshness and lift. It’s a wine about balance rather than bold statements. Approachable, versatile with food, and consistently loved by our guests.

  • Zambartas Shiraz -Lefkada

    This blend is a founder’s blend, reflecting Akis Zambartas’ long-standing admiration for Lefkada, a variety he particularly valued for its character and depth. Although Lefkada is often considered an indigenous Cypriot variety, it actually originates from Greece, where it is known as Vertzami. First brought to Cyprus in 1957, it now accounts for 1.2% of the grapes grown on the island. Shiraz, by comparison, represents 4.5%, making it the fourth most widely planted grape variety in Cyprus.

  • Zambartas Maratheftiko

    Maratheftiko is a very unique grape because, unlike most varieties, it is not self-pollinating. This means it needs another grape variety planted nearby in the vineyard in order to set fruit properly. Without that, yields are very low and unpredictable. This is one of the reasons Maratheftiko almost disappeared for many years, it’s difficult to grow and requires extra care in the vineyard. Today, with better understanding and vineyard management, it’s recognised as one of Cyprus’ most exciting indigenous red grapes, producing wines with depth, freshness and great ageing potential.

    – Rich, full bodied, medium tannins –
