EXOTIC GRAPES
BEAUTIFUL WINE

The Tsangarides winery is situated in the lovely old village of Lemona. Its here when their Great Great Grandfather prepared the land and planted out the first vineyards, tending and nurturing the fruit of the vine in much the same way as his descendents they do today.

Then, the wine made was primarily for domestic consumption, but slowly, over decades the accumulated knowledge gleaned from travel and education via foreign winemakers has resulted in the wines being acclaimed as one of the best examples of a boutique winery supplying consistently high quality wines for the table.

Kyperounda Winery is situated in the Kyperounda village in Limassol region. The award winning winery opened in 1998 and is run by the Photos Photiades Group. The winery owns a four hectares vineyard which is the highest in Europe with 1400 meters altitude with a micro climate similar to those of Bordeaux in France. Among their wine grapes are Xynisteri, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The winery is built on three levels in order to take advantage of gravity to move the grape juice in the gentlest possible way. The winery's underground cellar holds two hundred and fifty 225lt oak barrels, in which the wine of Kyperounda matures and develops its finest character.

Why Cyprus Wine?

Legend has it that earliest wine making can be tracked to 7000BC in China. Wine in the modern form is more believed to be originated from the Mediterranean region around 5000-6000BC. Archaeological evidences were discovered in Georgia, and Italy.

In fact, the earliest wine making in Cyprus can be traced to more than 5500 years ago, even earlier than that in Greece.

The uniqueness we wish to bring to you is the characteristics of our wines.

Varieties of Grapes:

• Xynisteri - the most important variety in Cyprus which white grape gives exceptionally light white wines.
• Maratheftiko or Vamvakaki - major category of red grape variety that gives wines with great aging potential.
• Black - this red variety of grapes thrives on all soils from the most barren giving generally neutral wines. It covers 60% of the Cypriot vineyard.
• Eyed Red grape - has a small production variety. Wines from this variety of grapes are suitable for aging.
• Yiannoudi a variety of red grapes, but it’s planted to a limited extent.
• Promara – a very rare white grape
• Lefkada – new red variety which was introduced just a few decades ago.

Our wine is certainly not the first wine you have drunk. But we bring to you something different that you would not mind to give it a try.

Our wines are sourced exclusively from Cyprus – the island country stands in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, not far from France, Italy and Greece. While these countries are best known wine regions and very much viewed as the ‘standard of old world wines’, Cyprus wine is a hidden gem among the shining diamonds - To be more specific: a rare precious gem.

Cyprus is one of the places where earliest wine making was known - probably earlier than its better known neighbours.

Cyprus wines are brewed mostly by families scattered in the hills across the island.
