Zambartas Maratheftiko

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 –

SKU: ZAM05 Category: Tags: , ,

Description

Grape type: 100% Maratheftiko- Pachna, Omodos, Vasa and Agios Therapon.

Vinification: This Maratheftiko is carefully hand-sorted to select the very best grapes from Limassol’s high-altitude vineyards. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for a year in mostly used oak with a touch of new, it’s a rich, structured wine with depth, silky tannins, and layered dark fruit. This wine can age beautifully for 7–8 years, revealing even more complexity over time.

Tasting notes: Giving a blend of red roses, black cherries, red berries and sweet spice alongside the characteristic aroma of violets often attributed to the Maratheftiko grape. 

Food pairing: The rich, round flavours of this wine make it a great accompaniment to grilled lamb, pork and beef. It is perfect to be enjoyed alongside traditional souvla.

  • 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 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 –
