Vasillikon White Dry 75cl, 12.5%

Description

Vasillikon White Dry 75cl, 12.5% is a dry white wine made from 100% Xinisteri, sourced from selected vineyards in Kathikas and produced under the Protected Designation of Origin Laona Akama.

Collector’s Note

This is not a bottle-count limited release, but it carries real local interest because it comes from one of the earlier modern wineries of Cyprus. Vasilikon was established in 1993 by the Kyriakides brothers in Kathikas, and this Xinisteri has been part of the winery’s range from the beginning, giving the bottle more heritage value than a simple entry-level white might suggest.
