Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep red. This is based on the winery’s official Methy description.
Nose: Aromatic and complex, with green pepper, caper, red fruits, and oak in the background. This is based on the winery’s official Methy description.
Palate: Deep, thick, and distinctly balanced, with clear tannic presence. This is based on your current product description and the winery’s standard Methy profile.
Finish: Long, dry, and mature, with tannin, oak, and savoury red-fruit notes carrying through the close. This is an inference based on the official tasting profile, the stated maturation regime, and the confirmed 2001 vintage.
Description
Vasillikon Methy Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 75cl, 13% is a mature vintage release of Vasilikon Winery’s Methy, made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon in Paphos. A vintage-specific public reference confirms the 2001 vintage and lists it at 13.00% ABV, while the winery’s official Methy profile describes the wine as a red dry wine from selected vineyards, produced by classical red vinification and aged in French oak barrels.
This is a more serious Cyprus red built around maturity, structure, and Cabernet Sauvignon character rather than simple youthful fruit. Your current product description also states that Methy matures for two years in brand new French oak barrels and then spends an equal amount of time ageing in bottle, which suits the older 2001 vintage especially well.
Why Choose Vasillikon Methy Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 75cl, 13%
Vasillikon Methy Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 75cl, 13% stands out for its single-variety Cabernet Sauvignon identity, mature-vintage appeal, and long-established place in the winery’s range. The French oak ageing, bottle development, and firm Cabernet structure make it a strong choice for customers looking for a fuller and more evolved Cyprus red.
Ideal For
It is ideal for customers who enjoy mature Cabernet Sauvignon with firm structure, oak-aged depth, and savoury complexity.
It is ideal for richer meat dishes and more serious dinner service. This is an inference based on its full-bodied style, tannic structure, and long oak-and-bottle maturation.
It is ideal for customers looking for an older Cyprus red with more bottle-developed character than a young fruit-forward release. This is an inference based on the confirmed 2001 vintage and the winery’s stated maturation style.
It is ideal for buyers who want to explore one of Vasilikon Winery’s established named reds from an earlier vintage.

Collector’s Note
This is not a bottle-count limited release, but the 2001 vintage gives it added appeal for customers who appreciate older Cyprus reds. Methy also carries estate significance because the winery’s own history notes that its 100% Cabernet Sauvignon under the name Methy was created in 1999, so a 2001 bottle sits very early in the life of this established wine.
