The Pafos wine region, located in the idyllic setting of Cyprus, is a true gem for wine enthusiasts, recognised by its Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). Pafos enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. The vineyards stretch over rolling hills, reaching altitudes that contribute to the slow ripening of the grapes, thus preserving their freshness and acidity.
Pafos wines are distinguished by their aromatic richness and a diversity that delights the palate of connoisseurs. Here, you will find indigenous grape varieties such as Maratheftiko and Xynisteri, alongside international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The red wines are often deep and structured, with notes of dark fruits and spices, while the white wines exhibit vibrant citrus and sometimes floral undertones.
The winemaking history of Pafos dates back several millennia, embedding its influence in the local culture. Producers in this region combine ancient traditions with modern techniques to offer wines that reflect the unique character of their terroir, making Pafos an essential destination for fine wine enthusiasts.
