Description
Vasillikon Epiloges Inia Xynisteri 75cl, 11.5% is part of the Epiloges trilogy, a vertical tasting concept created from 100% Xynisteri to explore how different vineyards within the PDO Laona Akamas zone express the variety in different ways. The Inia bottling comes from a vineyard planted in 2010, trained in the traditional goblet shape, on calcific-limestone soil at 700 metres altitude with an east-facing orientation.
What makes this wine especially attractive is its brighter, more floral and more botanical style within the Epiloges range. Published descriptions point to white blossoms, botanicals, vivid acidity, a chalky or flinty edge and a long, balanced finish, giving this bottle a fresh and terroir-driven identity that feels very true to modern high-altitude Xynisteri from Paphos.
Why Choose Vasillikon Epiloges Inia Xynisteri 75cl, 11.5%
Vasillikon Epiloges Inia Xynisteri 75cl, 11.5% stands out because it is not just a standard varietal white, but a site-specific expression within a trilogy designed to show the range and limits of Xynisteri. The Inia vineyard’s younger planting, limestone-rich soils and east-facing position help shape a wine with floral lift, freshness and strong balance, making it especially appealing for buyers who want a more distinctive Cyprus white.
Ideal For .
This bottle is ideal for drinkers who enjoy fresh, dry white wines with floral aromatics, lively acidity and a mineral edge.
It is ideal for customers exploring indigenous Cypriot varieties and wanting to see how Xynisteri can express vineyard character within Laona Akamas.
It is also ideal for seafood, mezze and lighter Mediterranean dishes, as its acidity, freshness and botanical lift suggest a very food-friendly style. This is an inference based on the published flavour profile and structure of the wine.

Collector’s Note
This is not a collector bottle in the limited-whisky sense, but it has strong appeal for buyers who value terroir-led Cypriot wines and site-specific expressions of indigenous grapes. The Epiloges concept gives it extra interest because it was created specifically to compare three different vineyard personalities within the same regional and varietal framework.
The Inia bottling is especially attractive because it appears to lean into the more floral, botanical and mineral side of Xynisteri. That makes it a useful bottle for customers who already know the variety and want a more precise, vineyard-driven expression rather than a broader regional style. This is partly an inference based on the published vineyard details and tasting descriptions.
