Red, White and Rose Cyprus Wine - Cyprus commadaria

RED wines are generally more suited to the stronger food tastes -beef, lamb, steak, stews, casseroles and stronger cheeses. Some are smooth and mellow, others are fuller and more vigorous. The three on this page are examples of the mellower Cyprus reds. Like all red wines, they are best served at room temperature.

White & Rose Wines

HERE is a selection of our dry white wines. They tend to be softer than the very driest European wines because Cypriot grapes are so full and lush.

These wines should not be over-chilled: three hours in the average refrigerator is enough. Then they make perfect partners for fish dishes and for starters like prawn cocktail. Veal and poultry, too, are ideally suited to their fresh, crisp taste.From classic dry to richness of cream
Even if you have not so far enjoyed Cyprus table wines, the chances are that you have already tasted Cyprus serry. Cyprus serry has been a firm favoourite for generations. Practically every wine store you go into has its selection of Cyprus Sherries. And very good they are too.

The reason is the natural sweetness of the native Cyprus grape, nurtured by unfailing sunshine and the warmth of the mediterranean breezes. The result is a lush, tasty grape which is perfect for the full-strength dry and medium cyprus sherries- the yeast has plenty of sugar to work on for the generation of alcohol. Only for the creams is any drying out needed to accentuate the sweetness.

These grapes are picked at their peak, and after pressing and racking, the juice is refined by our chilling process. This is a technique pioneered in Cyprus and now adopted in many other wine producing countries. After fermentation come the final stages: fortification with fine grape brandy, and long years of maturing in white oak casks.
DRY...
Here we show the driest of the Cyprus sherries: the perfect prelude to a fine meal, and prized by connoisseurs for their exquisite balance and taste. But many people prefer something rather less astringent - a medium perhaps, or even the full lusciousness of a cream.
SWEETER...
HERE are some of our medium Cyprus sherries, probably the most popular of all. Warm and gratifying, they rival the finest in the world. The big difference is simply that they cost less, which helps you to drink them any time you feel like it.
