The Zambartas Range
The Zambartas Range was the first collection of wines introduced by the winery and remains at the heart of what we do today. Cyprus is an exciting place to make wine, home to a wealth of unique indigenous grape varieties, and this range reflects our passion for showcasing them alongside carefully crafted blends with well-known international varieties. We first gained recognition with our vibrant and intensely coloured Rosé, followed by our Maratheftiko red and a fresh, elegant Xynisteri white. Today the range includes seven wines, and we continue to refine our methods each year in pursuit of ever greater quality. Over time, these wines have received numerous awards both locally and internationally.
100% Promara Grape origin: Lasa Village, Polemi Region, south western slopes of Troodos, calcareous soil, 12 year old bush vines. Promara is a long forgotten white grape variety indigenous to Cyprus. It is the first Cypriot grape variety to ripen every year hence its name. Currently, the Promara vineyards represent less than 1% of the total vineyard area in Cyprus. Our Promara has a complex aromatic profile of stone and citrus fruit. Medium body with refreshing acidity and long aftertaste.
The Single Vineyard Range
The Single Vineyard Range focuses on wines produced from individual vineyard sites, each highlighting the unique character of its location. The aim of this range is to showcase the importance of the vineyard and its natural environment, allowing the personality of each site to shine through in the wine. All vineyards are organically farmed, and in the winery we follow a philosophy of minimal intervention so the wines can express the true character of their terroir. Through this range, we continue to explore the diversity of Cyprus’ vineyards and how place shapes the wines we make.
A novel approach to the co-vinification of Xynisteri and Mavro, the 2 main indigenous grape varieties of Cyprus. Xynisteri grapes pressed together with bunches of Mavro grapes.

The Koukouvagia Range
The Κουκουβάγια range includes a white, a rosé, and a red wine, created to be easy-drinking, fruity, and aromatic. These wines are designed for relaxed, everyday enjoyment.
