Tsiakkas Pitsillia White – A Rare Expression of High-Altitude Xynisteri
Discover a Unique Cypriot White Wine
Crafted from a single vineyard in the renowned Pitsilia region of Cyprus, Tsiakkas Pitsillia White showcases the elegance of Xynisteri in its purest form. Grown at 1,050 meters above sea level in the village of Kato Mylos, this limited-production white wine reflects both the rugged terroir and meticulous craftsmanship behind each bottle.
Exceptional Terroir and Traditional Methods
The vines are ungrafted and cultivated using the traditional goblet method, rooted in sandy, volcanic, and clay soils. Each grape is handpicked, ensuring only the best fruit makes it to the cellar. These time-honored techniques give the wine its distinct character and depth.
Artisan Vinification with a Modern Touch
Made entirely from the indigenous Xynisteri grape, this wine undergoes a cold soak and selected yeast fermentation. It then matures for nine months in a mix of French and American oak barrels, including first-fill Commandaria barrels. The wine is stirred with batonnage to enhance texture and complexity. With only 1,300 bottles produced, this is a rare and refined vintage worth savoring.
Aromas, Flavors, and Food Pairings
On the nose, Tsiakkas Pitsillia White reveals layers of nectarine, bergamot, ripe melon, and subtle honey notes. The palate is round and fresh, with a lingering finish that complements rich yet delicate dishes. It pairs beautifully with creamy pasta, legumes, or poultry, making it a versatile choice for refined dining.
Serving and Storage Recommendations
For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled between 8–12°C. While the wine is delightful now, it also has ageing potential of 3 to 5 years, allowing further complexity to develop over time.
