Tsiakkas Promara – A Rare Expression of Cyprus’ Indigenous Elegance
Discover the Authentic Taste of Cypriot Terroir
Tsiakkas Promara is a remarkable white wine crafted from the indigenous Promara grape, one of Cyprus’ rarest and most intriguing varieties. Grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Agios Ioannis and Polemi, between 700 and 900 meters above sea level, this wine showcases the purity and precision that only ungrafted vines and traditional hand-harvesting can provide.
The vineyard’s sandy loam soils and cool mountain climate allow for slow ripening, resulting in exceptional aromatic complexity and freshness. These factors come together to deliver a wine that is both refined and deeply rooted in place.
Crafted with Care and Expertise
The vinification process of Tsiakkas Promara is meticulous. After a gentle cold soak and careful yeast selection, the wine undergoes fermentation and matures for nine months on its fine lees in temperature-controlled INOX tanks. This extended lees contact adds texture, richness, and an elegant mouthfeel to the final expression.
With only 1,100 bottles produced, this is a limited-edition wine that offers a unique opportunity to experience Promara at its best. Each bottle tells the story of a forgotten grape, brought back to life through sustainable viticulture and modern winemaking.
Elegant Aromas and Food Pairing Versatility
On the nose, Tsiakkas Promara reveals delicate aromas of pear, ripe melon, straw, and a subtle flintiness. The palate is balanced and refreshing, with a medium body and a smooth, layered texture. These characteristics make it a perfect companion to creamy pasta dishes, poultry, and fresh green salads.
Serve it chilled at 8–12°C to bring out its bright flavors and delicate minerality. With an ageing potential of 2 to 4 years, it also offers excellent cellaring value for those who appreciate subtle evolution in white wines.
