“Vlassides Cabernet Sauvignon” is a complex and full-bodied wine.
The wine has a multi-faceted character and well-balanced acidity with strong but approachable tannins. It has got a deep red ink colour and a rich nose with aromas of dark berries, chocolate, green pepper and spices.
The grapes are harvested at the beginning of September from our vineyards around the area of Kilani village, which are situated at an altitude of around 650m. We ferment the grapes in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and mature the wine for twelve to fourteen months in small French oak barrels. This maturation period gives the aromas of vanilla, caramel and black chocolate, as well as a smooth texture to the wine.
This fine wine is a authentic expression of the Cypriot autochthon variety Maratheftiko. The scent of violets which is so characteristic of the Maratheftiko grape is immediately apparent on the nose. The bouquet is complimented by aromas of black cherries and enriched by an elegant layer of the fine French oak barrels which nourished this wine. Its rich flavour of red fruit and the round tannin give this wine elegance and structure. Suitable for ageing.
100% Maratheftiko

Óroman is a tribute to our roots.
The Cypriot language incorporates the soul and history of our island; a blend of nations and cultures that have inhabited Cyprus throughout history. Arabic, Turkish, English, French, Italian but, mainly Greek, have formed a unique dialect that is still alive and spoken.
Όroman, in Cypriot, means vision, dream. Our ‘Οroman is a blend of the local grape Yiannoudi, which dominates, with a small percentage of Shiraz.
It incorporates our vision of the Cypriot red wine.
The cultivation of the vineyards planted with the local variety Υiannoudi is especially demanding. Yiannoudi belongs to the group of varieties with flowers described as female, in contrast to the majority of varieties which have hermaphrodite flowers. This peculiarity leads to low yields. By observing and recording our findings, we based the cultivation of the Yiannoudi variety on the technique of co-cultivation; planting Yiannoudi with varieties which bloom in the same time period.
The wine is bottled unfiltered and aged for another year before it goes on the market.
With the potential to mature for an additional eight to ten years.
Best served at 16-18°C.

Most wine lovers believe that “Vlassides Shiraz” is the best Shiraz produced in Cyprus and one of the top locally produced red wines. Almost half of the wine produced at the winery is Shiraz. This leading wine of our winery is very concentrated, well balanced and complex.

Aromatically, it is very rich in fruits of the forest, such as black cherry and blackcurrant. The aromas are further enhanced with vanilla and smokiness which is provided by the ageing in French oak barrels for eight to nine months.
