Tsiakkas Cabernet Sauvignon – A Bold Expression of Cyprus’ Mountain Terroir
Distinctive Origin from the High Vineyards of Agros
Tsiakkas Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium red wine crafted with care and precision in the high-altitude vineyards of Agros, within the celebrated Krasochoria region of Cyprus. At an elevation of 1,200 meters, the sandy, volcanic soils contribute a unique character to the grapes. The vines, grown using the Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) method, are ungrafted and handpicked, preserving the authenticity and vitality of the fruit.
Artisanal Winemaking for Exceptional Quality
This elegant blend combines the power of Cabernet Sauvignon with the finesse of Cabernet Franc. The winemaking process includes 15 days of skin contact to extract deep color and rich tannins. Carefully selected yeasts and regular pump overs enhance fermentation, resulting in a structured and balanced wine. After fermentation, the wine matures for 11 to 13 months in a mix of American and French oak barrels, adding complexity and depth.
Complex Aromatics and Layered Flavors
On the nose, Tsiakkas Cabernet Sauvignon opens with bold aromas of blackberry and green pepper. Notes of eucalyptus and dark chocolate add freshness and intrigue. The palate is full-bodied, yet elegant, with well-integrated tannins and a long, satisfying finish.
Perfect Pairings and Serving Suggestions
Serve this wine slightly below room temperature, between 16°C and 18°C, to unlock its full flavor profile. It pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as red meat, slow-cooked stews, and traditional legumes. Its robust character makes it a standout companion for a wide range of meals.
Cellaring Potential and Availability
With proper storage, this wine can age gracefully for 7 to 10 years, developing even greater depth and nuance over time. Limited to just 4,000 bottles, it is a rare and collectible expression of Cypriot winemaking excellence.
