Cypriot wine

Cypriot wine comes from Cyprus, an island with a rich wine-making tradition dating back thousands of years. It features a diverse range of white, red, and rosé wines, often crafted from indigenous grape varieties like Xynisteri and Maratheftiko. The island’s warm Mediterranean climate and volcanic soil contribute to wines with unique character, often exhibiting vibrant fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and expressive aromas. Cypriot wines combine ancient traditions with modern techniques, making them distinct and increasingly recognized internationally. They're versatile for pairing with local cuisine, such as grilled meats, seafood, and meze dishes.
