Tsiakkas Pitsilia White from the Pitsilia mountain region of Cyprus — aromas of nectarine, bergamot, melon, and honey from the indigenous Xynisteri grape grown at altitude, a distinctive Cypriot white of aromatic complexity and freshness from one of the island's most pioneering producers.
Tasting Notes

Xynisteri is Cyprus's finest indigenous white variety — at altitude in the Pitsilia mountains it produces wines of real aromatic complexity and mineral freshness, showing none of the heaviness that heat can bring in lower-altitude vineyards.
