Tsiakkas Porfyros Red Wine – A Rich Expression of Cypriot Terroir
Crafted from Tradition and Terroir
Tsiakkas Porfyros is a red wine that captures the essence of Cyprus’s unique winemaking heritage. Grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Krasochoria, between 700 and 1,000 meters, the grapes benefit from cool mountain breezes and exceptional sun exposure. The soil composition—rich in sandy, volcanic, and clay textures—adds complexity and depth to each bottle.
Viticulture with Purpose
The vineyard uses traditional goblet-trained vines that are ungrafted and handpicked. This hands-on method ensures only the best fruit is selected, offering purity and expression in every sip. The careful cultivation at high altitudes helps preserve the grapes’ natural acidity and balance, making this wine vibrant yet smooth.
A Balanced Blend of Character
Tsiakkas Porfyros is a masterful blend of Merlot, Shiraz, and Agiorgitiko. These varieties are cold soaked to enhance aroma and flavor extraction. The wine undergoes 10 days of skin contact and selected yeast fermentation, allowing the full character of each grape to shine through. With no maturation in oak, the wine stays true to its fruit-forward nature.
Tasting Notes and Food Pairings
This expressive red wine opens with aromas of ripe plum, juicy cherry, and subtle notes of chocolate and coffee. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with silky tannins and a lingering finish. Serve it slightly chilled, between 12 – 16°C, to enhance its flavor profile. It pairs beautifully with poultry dishes, hearty stews, and traditional legume recipes.
Elegant and Approachable
Tsiakkas Porfyros is crafted to be enjoyed young, with an ageing potential of 2 to 4 years. Its fresh yet structured profile makes it an ideal choice for casual dinners or special occasions alike.
