Makarounas - 'Aerides' - Xynisteri

2023

Xynisteri 

Cyprus, Greece 

Started in 2016, Makarounas is a small family-owned winery that lies just 14 km east of the city of Pafos. The family has been in the winemaking industry for four generations and are the only winery in Cyprus that sources grapes solely from their own privately owned vineyards. Not only do they source their own grapes for their wine production, they also provide fruit to a number of other local wineries, giving them control over the quality of their vines and fruit. This wine is made from 100% Xynisteri, an indigenous Cyprus varietal. Cyprus was never affected by Phylloxera, making all of their vines original rootstock. This high-acid, mineral driven white has tasting notes of white flowers, citrus and a touch of herbs. Pair with fresh seafood or fresh fish.
