Zivania or zivana (Cypriot: ζιβανία, ζιβάνα ) is a Cypriot pomace brandy produced from the distillation of a mixture of grape pomace and local dry wines made from Xynisteri and Mavro grapes. The name of zivania is derived from zivana which means pomace in the Cypriot dialect of Cyprus.
A truly unique experience from the Kalamos Winery. Our local traditional Zivania has been aged in oak barrels and enriched with caramel and combined with the flavors of ‘Alexandria Muscat’ to offer you a rare and wonderful drink.
Zivania, our traditional strong spirit with a powerful taste and light aroma, is produced from the Cypriot varieties of grapes, ‘Xinisteri’ and ‘Alexandria Muscat’ (Malaga).
This fine quality spirit is made following an ancient recipe.
