Limassol

Limassol, located in the heart of the wine region on the south coast of Cyprus, is an iconic epicentre of wine production. The region features an unmatched combination of indigenous grape varieties and unique microclimate, which furnishes the wine with distinct characteristics and its rich signature taste. This potent elixir has been deeply ingrained in Cyprus' heritage, with wine creation dating back over 6,000 years, making it one of the oldest wine producing regions on the globe.

The district is particularly renowned for its rich and full-bodied red wine, made primarily from the indigenous Mavro and Maratheftiko grapes, which imbues the wine with a vibrant red colour, blackberry and cherry aromatics and an austere structure. The area also produces highly-regarded white wines, commonly from Xynisteri grape variety, which imparts a fruit-driven profile, with fresh apple and citrusy overtones complemented by mineral nuances.

Cyprus, Limassol wines have a prestigious accolade for their Commandaria wine as well. The sweet dessert wine, made from sun-dried grapes, holds the title of the world's oldest named wine still in production. This wine, with its alluring amber hue, delightedly mingles rich honey and dried fruit flavours with a whisper of spice – a testament to the climatic conditions and traditional production methods of Limassol.

Conservation of the integrity and antiquity of Limassol wine is of considerable importance. The European Union, recognising its unique qualities and long-standing lineage, has given it Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, ensuring that its character and standard are diligently maintained.

With its ancient lineage, unparalleled flavours and vibrant diversity, Cyprus, Limassol wine skilfully encapsulates the essence of its compelling region in every bottle. It is a blissful symbol of the area's viticultural tradition and a symbol of Cyprus' gastronomic culture that enthrals wine enthusiasts across the globe.
