Vlassides Oroman: A Tribute to Cypriot Heritage and Vision
Discovering Όroman: Embracing Cypriot Roots
At Vlassides Winery, we pay homage to our rich heritage with Vlassides Oroman, a wine that encapsulates the essence of Cypriot culture. The name itself, derived from the Cypriot dialect, signifies “vision” or “dream,” reflecting our deep connection to the land and its history.
A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
Crafted from a meticulous blend of the indigenous Yiannoudi grape, complemented by a touch of Shiraz, Όroman embodies our vision for exceptional Cypriot red wine. Yiannoudi, with its unique characteristics and low yields, demands careful cultivation techniques rooted in centuries-old wisdom.
Cultivation and Vinification: A Labor of Love
Our vineyards, nurtured in calcareous soil enriched with sand, clay, and silt, yield grapes of unparalleled quality. The harvest, meticulously timed for early September, marks the beginning of a journey toward perfection.
Unleashing the Essence: From Vine to Bottle
Maceration, essential for extracting the grapes’ phenolic richness, undergoes a precise duration tailored to each vintage’s maturity. Following fermentations, the wine ages gracefully in French oak barrels, enhancing its complexity and character over twelve months.
A Symphony of Flavors and Aromas
The result is a wine of remarkable depth and finesse, with notes of ripe berries, subtle spices, and a lingering finish. Best enjoyed between 16-18°C, Όroman reveals its full potential when savored slowly, allowing its nuances to unfold with each sip.
Experience the Legacy
With a composition of 91% Yiannoudi and 9% Shiraz, Όroman invites you to embark on a sensory journey through Cyprus’ winemaking heritage. Whether indulged now or cellared for future enjoyment, this wine promises to captivate discerning palates for years to come.
In conclusion, Vlassides Oroman stands as a testament to our commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation, inviting wine enthusiasts worldwide to experience the essence of Cypriot winemaking at its finest.
