Discover the exceptional Kyperounda Winery Petritis, crafted high in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus, where the winemaking art reaches both literal and figurative new heights. Drawing from vineyards perched over 1,400 metres above sea level, this wine captures the purity and vibrancy of the indigenous Xynisteri grape. The unique microclimate of the southern slopes and rocky, sandy clay soils deliver a sophisticated expression, benefiting from a longer ripening period. This extended hang time allows for intense flavours and refreshing acidity. The state-of-the-art, gravity-fed winery ensures the gentlest treatment, preserving the integrity and natural character of the fruit, while a subtle touch of oak adds layers of complexity to the blend. Designed by experienced winemakers, Petritis is an outstanding Cypriot white that truly stands apart on the international stage.
