Nestled in the scenic village of Pachna within the Limassol district of Cyprus, Monolithos Boutique Winery stands as a testament to modern Cypriot winemaking blended with deep familial tradition. Founded by the Kyriakides family, the winery is situated at an altitude of approximately 900 meters in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains. This elevated location provides a unique microclimate characterized by cool evenings and significant diurnal temperature variation, which is ideal for the slow, even ripening of grapes. The winery’s name, inspired by the large monolithic rock formations nearby, reflects the strength and endurance of the family’s commitment to producing high-quality wines that express the distinct terroir of the region.
Monolithos Boutique Winery is known for its dedication to both indigenous and international grape varieties. The estate manages its own vineyards and collaborates closely with local growers to cultivate grapes such as Xynisteri, Maratheftiko, and Mavro, alongside international favorites like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz. Sustainable farming practices are a cornerstone of their viticulture, ensuring the health of the vineyards and the quality of the fruit. The winery produces a diverse portfolio of wines, including crisp whites, elegant rosés, structured reds, the traditional sweet wine Commandaria, and Zivania, a Cypriot pomace brandy. Their wines have garnered numerous awards and accolades, both domestically and internationally, cementing their reputation for excellence and innovation.
The winery features a spacious and welcoming tasting room that offers panoramic views of the vineyards and the Troodos Mountains. Monolithos provides a comprehensive visitor experience, including guided tours of the production facilities and cellar, where guests can learn about the winemaking process from vine to bottle.
