Today, LOEL produces an extensive range of wines for every taste and budget, with flagship brands including Palomino, Evambelos Gi, and Mesogios Chora, while also producing quality spirits and juices for both local and international markets including Russia, Estonia, Greece, England, America, Singapore, Libya, and Jordan.

Alongside its still wines, LionSpirit has developed a notable distilling program producing gin, brandy and a small‑batch malt whisky (some expressions finished or aged in Commandaria casks), which has helped the estate win awards and broaden its portfolio beyond traditional Cypriot wine styles. The operation now presents a modern tasting experience that highlights both its historical Commandaria bottles and newer spirit-led releases (Kingfisher Gin, LionSpirit Malt Whisky, Nutcracker liqueurs, etc.).
