Champagne is sparkling wine. Many people use the term Champagne as a generic term for sparkling wine but in some countries, it is illegal to label any product Champagne unless it both comes from the Champagne region and is produced under the rules of the appellation.Specifically, in the EU countries, legally only that sparkling wine which comes from the Champagne region of France can be labelled as Champagne.

Wine is an alcoholic drink made from fermented grapes.Yeast consumes the sugar in the grapes and converts it to ethanol, carbon dioxide, and heat. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different styles of wine. These variations result from the complex interactions between the biochemical development of the grape, the reactions involved in fermentation, the roister, and the production process. Many countries enact legal appellations intended to define styles and qualities of wine. These typically restrict the geographical origin and permitted varieties of grapes, as well as other aspects of wine production. Wines not made from grapes include rice wine and fruit wines such as plum, cherry, pomegranate, currant and elderberry.

  • ( 0 Customer Review )

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.

The grape variety Shiraz shows its distinctive character in each bottle of “Vlassides Shiraz”. It gives a full-bodied and yet velvety flavoured wine with great intensity and a long lasting aftertaste. In terms of colour, the wine is almost black. 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.

It has an ageing potential of five years, but it is best to be consumed three to four years after its vinification. It can be enjoyed with white meat, pasta dishes and various cheeses, by keeping it at a temperature of 15 to 16°C. The wine should be stored horizontally at around 15°C.

Vlassides Oroman 75cl,14.5%

  • ( 0 Customer Review )

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.
