Established on the principles of Family, History, Terroir, and Innovation, the winery is both a esteemed wine producer and a cherished attraction for wine enthusiasts and explorers alike.

These high-altitude vineyards, among the highest in Europe, are instrumental in crafting wines with distinctive character, reflecting the unique terroir of the region.
The winery’s portfolio is thoughtfully organized into four distinct collections, showcasing a diverse range of 18 innovative labels. The Familiar collection highlights beloved local varieties like Xynisteri, Rodinos, and Porfyros, while the Autochthon collection is dedicated to rare indigenous grapes such as Promara, Mouklos, Vamvakada, and Yiannoudin, preserving Cyprus’s rich viticultural heritage.
