Vasillikon Epiloges Arodes Xynisteri 75cl, 12%

Description

Vasillikon Epiloges Arodes Xynisteri 75cl, 12% is part of Epiloges, a trilogy of wines created as a vertical tasting from 100% Xynisteri to explore how different vineyard sites within the PDO Laona Akamas zone shape the variety in different ways. The winery states that the wines were made with spontaneous fermentation and without added yeasts, aiming for a more minimal-intervention expression of each site.

The Arodes bottling comes from a vineyard planted in 1920, trained in the traditional goblet shape, grown on clay-limestone soil at 700 metres altitude with an east-facing orientation. Published producer notes describe it with aromas of white-fleshed fruits and a rich body with volume, which gives this bottle a deeper and broader profile within the Epiloges range.

Why Choose Vasillikon Epiloges Arodes Xynisteri 75cl, 12%

Vasillikon Epiloges Arodes Xynisteri 75cl, 12% stands out because it is not simply a varietal white wine, but a site-specific expression from very old vines within a clearly defined trilogy. The 1920 planting date, clay-limestone soils and minimal-intervention approach give it extra depth and identity, making it especially attractive for buyers who want a more terroir-driven Cyprus white.

Ideal For .

This bottle is ideal for drinkers who enjoy dry white wines with more texture, fruit weight and vineyard character rather than a very light, simple style.

It is ideal for customers exploring indigenous Cypriot varieties and wanting to see how Xynisteri changes from one village and vineyard to another within Laona Akamas.

It is also ideal for Mediterranean food, seafood, grilled vegetables and mezze, as the wine’s fruit, body and freshness suggest a versatile table style. This is an inference based on the producer description of white-fleshed fruit, rich body and site-driven freshness.

Collector’s Note

This is not a collector bottle in the limited-whisky sense, but it has real appeal for buyers who value old vines, indigenous grapes and site-specific Cypriot wine. The Epiloges concept gives it extra importance because it was designed specifically to compare three vineyard personalities within the same grape and PDO framework.

The Arodes bottling is especially interesting because of the vineyard’s 1920 planting date, which makes it the oldest site named in the Epiloges trilogy shown in the producer description. That old-vine element should make it especially attractive to customers looking for depth, texture and a stronger sense of origin in Xynisteri.
