Tasting notes
40-day skin contact of Commandaria grape skins with Xynisteri must. Mature pergamon and quince on the nose with hints of flowers and orange peel. Full body in the mouth with a firm tannin structure, a genuinely structured amber wine. Tsiakkas produces this in the Pitsilia mountain zone of Cyprus at altitude, where the cooler temperatures preserve the aromatics of the indigenous Xynisteri variety.
