  SINGLE VINEYARD RANGE

  This wine is a truly original creation from Marcos Zambartas, a novel co‑vinification of two indigenous Cypriot varieties, Xynisteri and Mavro. Instead of fermenting each separately, we press and ferment them together, letting the whole bunches and natural yeast do their work. This wine was born right here during a moment of inspiration in the winery, and the result is an elegant, floral rose wine (and yes it is a rose wine, despite it’s colour suggesting otherwise).

  – Floral, medium bodied, lightly oaked –

  Dessert Wine

  Our Commandaria, Melusine, is our way of honouring one of Cyprus’ most historic wines while showing it at its very best. A modern interpretation of a classic. We age the wine for around 11 years in oak barrels, allowing it to slowly develop richness, complexity and balance. The name Melusine comes from a mythical spirit, a nod to the wine’s mysterious character and the magic that time in the cellar can bring.

  – Dried fruits, natural sweetness, pleasant acidity –

  ZAMBARTAS RANGE

  Promara is very special to us because it connects directly to the work of Akis Zambartas. In the 1980s, long before indigenous varieties were fashionable, Akis travelled across Cyprus researching old vineyards and rediscovering grape varieties that had almost disappeared. Promara was one of them. At the time, very few people believed these grapes had a future, but today they are a key part of Cypriot wine identity. Whilst Promara still makes for less than 1% of the grapes grown on this island, it has grown in popularity at the winery. Originally starting with only 450 bottles for the first vintage, we now produce 5,500 bottles per year..

  – Stone fruit, medium bodied, long aftertaste –
