Wines - Wineries in Cyprus
A good wine requires a vision to create it! White, Rosé or Red?
Cypriot wine has made qualitative leaps in recent years and the effort continues. In Cyprus you will find great wineries that produce excellent quality Cypriot wine, which is committed to fascinating even the most demanding palates.
The wine of Cyprus, or the "Cypriot Nama," as Euripides called it, according to the Talmud of Jerusalem, was used at the worship ceremonies of the goddess Aphrodite. The "Cypriot Nama" was a sweet wine made of raisins. This wine was renamed Commandaria, in the 12th century, from its place of production. This area was located west of Limassol and was the base of the Knights Templar. During this period, Commandaria was the main source of wealth for the knights.
Cypriot wines are worthy and can be proud to stand next to wines from any other country. Distinctions in international wine competitions every year are proof of their quality. The road that the Cypriot wine follows has changed radically. Cypriot wine producers are now focusing on Cypriot native varieties, some of which were unknown a few years ago. The Cypriot wine has now found its own unique character, integrating harmoniously the 5500 years of history and the new era with self-confidence, passion and love.
