Melapsopodi as difficult as it is to pronounce for a Cyprus Wine- you'll be pleasantly surprised by this wine - so were the judges as it got Gold in last year's 6th edition of Cyprus Annual Wine Award - so an excellent option of Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc from Tsalapatis Winery and the french roots of it's leading Oenologist in Polemi, Cyprus

Head barman here at Anassa, takes great pride in educating our guests about the wonderful variety of wines we have to offer in Cyprus. It's a fact that Commandaria fortified wine has been genuinely scoring well at competitions around the world. Today multiple wineries are emulating this success in other still wines. Antoniou Takis has been in Cyprus working for 13 years and has seen plenty of guests embark on visits to local vineyards to buy cases of wine following their tastings at the hotel - Thank you Antoniou for the consistent support.

If you are into peregrinations or into religious artifacts, at the Monastery you'll also be blessed with finding 2009 Monastiri, a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz blend. The monastery is probably best known for its two table wines produced by Abbot Dionysios; Ayios Andronicos, a white wine made of Xynisteri and meant to be consumed young, and Ayios Elias. 2009 Chrysorroyiatissa Monastiri (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz) Note by Mateo - @whineontherocks - Satisfying aroma marked by blackberries, plum, black pepper, cloves and a light hint of vanilla and chocolate. To the palate, harsh tannins and a noticeable spike in the alcohol that smoothed out once the wine was matched with food and had enough time to breathe. Black fruit predominates in a blend that lacked some flavor in the mid-palate, a miss in the finish.

Nice, full bodied sweet wine. Perfect for after dinner with desert or alone. Pleasing, rich aroma, similar to a nice sherry or port. Velvety smooth with notes of dried fruit clove and allspice. Probably would make a good mulled wine or wine/cider mix if you were so inclined Keo St. John Commandaria PhotoCredit: Onirovins

Lambouri heritage exposed - Summer Blush, Crimson Sky, Maratheftiko, Commandaria...The Passionate Foodie: Boston Wine Expo: Lambouri Winery on Cyprus My initial experience with Cypriot wines was very positive, and you should check out the wines from Lambouri Winery.
Lots of different flavours in this dish - the type that seems like it's been cooking all day and instantly warms the soul....with what was described as the Robert De Niro of wines...enough said.

The abundance of viticultural activity in Cyprus finds its wealth also in the unique ancient mosaics representations of Dionysus, the wine-presses at the villages of Omodos, Laneia and amphorae and other wine artifacts exhibited at the Cyprus wine museum which are known landmarks to be experienced when attending the Wine festival.
