The Cypriot company, which was established in 1987, is a family winery business and it produces still wines. It is one of the first privately owned wineries in Cyprus and it has gained a strong reputation as a quality wine producing company over the years.
The company has a strong position in the Cyprus market with sales all over the island.
It has long-term cooperations with vine growers and it always aims in selecting the best grapes for vinification. The winery deals with international grape varieties such as cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and chardonnay, as well as it gives strong emphasis to Cyprus indigenous varieties, mainly from Paphos wine region. In 2010, the company established its own vineyards with the predominant aim to cultivate Cypriot varieties such as giannoudi, maratheftiko and xinisteri.
The company’s winery has four product lines (mainstream line, medium sweet line, premium line, limited edition line) of white, rose and red wines.
The winery specialises in the production of xinisteri indigenous Cypriot grape variety. Xinisteri is the main grape variety in Cyprus and the most famous amongst international wine specialists. The company’s xinisteri has been awarded several times the last three years in various competitions (Decanter, Cyprus wine competition, Thessaloniki wine competition).
The company has exported in Canada, Finland, and Russia in the past and it is currently exporting some small quantities to Germany.
