Vlassides Alates 75cl,12.5%

Description

Vlassides Alates 75cl, 12.5% is a premium Cyprus white wine from Vlassides Winery, presented in 75cl format. Your listing confirms the 12.5% ABV, while the winery describes Alates as a wine produced solely from old vines of Xynisteri, the dominant local white grape variety, grown in non-irrigated vineyards at around 900 metres in the Afamis mountain area on calcareous clay-loam soils.

This is clearly positioned as a more serious Xynisteri rather than a simple fresh-drinking local white. Reviewed merchant references describe a wine with citrus peel, herbs, bread, wet pebbles, sweet spice, cool acidity, creamy structure, and mineral persistence, while additional Cyprus retail notes point to balanced complexity and the ability to mature for a further five to seven years. That gives it a more terroir-driven and cellar-worthy identity than a routine youthful white, while still keeping the freshness and brightness that make Cyprus whites so appealing. This is an inference based on the reviewed winery and merchant descriptions.

Collector’s Note

This is not a rarity-led collector wine, but it has strong appeal as a serious Cyprus white with old-vine identity and real terroir character. It is better viewed as an enthusiast’s bottle rather than a simple drink-young white, with much of its appeal coming from the use of old-vine Xynisteri, the mountain-grown fruit, and the wine’s mineral, age-worthy style. This is an inference based on the reviewed winery and merchant descriptions.
