The appellations of « PDO » from the Commandaria region in cyprus

Commandaria, located on the island of Cyprus, is one of the oldest wine appellations in the world, enjoying the prestigious status of PDO (Protected Designation of Origin). Nestled on the southern slopes of the majestic Troodos Mountains, this wine region is renowned for its rich heritage that dates back over 4000 years. Commandaria wines are primarily made from two local grape varieties: Mavro for red grapes and Xynisteri for white grapes. These varieties are grown on volcanic soils at altitudes between 500 and 900 meters, benefiting from a dry and sunny Mediterranean climate that promotes optimal grape ripening.

The uniqueness of Commandaria lies in its distinctive production process. The grapes are harvested late and then sun-dried, concentrating their natural sugars. The resulting wine is luxuriously sweet and rich, with complex aromas of dried fruits, honey, and spices, offering a long finish on the palate. Whether you are a novice or an experienced cellar manager, Commandaria is a valuable and timeless addition to your collection, reflecting both the rich viticultural history of Cyprus and exceptional ancestral craftsmanship.
