• Grape: Xynisteri (100 %) -  indigenous white grape from Cyprus

Nose

• Peach, apricot, pineapple are prominent fruit-aromas.

• Citrus elements (zest, lemon) appear in some descriptions.

• Some floral or nearly vegetal/herbal notes: one older vintage description mentions herbal/vegetal hints at first.

Palate

• Body: Medium. Balanced mouthfeel. Not too heavy. Lees ageing gives a bit more richness.

• Acidity: Medium acidities; lively and balancing.

• Flavour profile: Fruit flavours echo the nose — stone fruits (peach, apricot), some tropical fruit in some tastings; citrus zest; a touch of minerality/clean finish.

• Finish: Good length; balanced; some vintages have “fine length, finesse and balance” reported.

Pairing suggestions

Pairs well with light foods: seafood, shellfish, light fish dishes, salads, poultry, lighter cheeses. Foods that work with citrus and stone fruit flavours.
