Description
Vlassides Artion 75cl,15% is the flagship premium red blend from Vlassides Winery, presented in 75cl format. Your site lists it at 15% ABV and describes it as “Vlassides Private Collection,” a special blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz made exclusively from handpicked grapes from selected Vlassides vineyards at around 1000 metres altitude. Recent official winery material shows that the wine now carries the name Artion, while older references and some merchants still connect it to the former Opus Artis naming.
This is clearly positioned as a more serious Cyprus red rather than an everyday blend. Official winery notes for the 2020 release describe a wine with ripe black fruits, coffee, vanilla, sweet spices, cedar, smoke, and dark chocolate, while reviewed merchant references say it is bottled unfiltered and is best decanted before drinking. Across the reviewed sources, the style is full-bodied, polished, and cellar-worthy, with enough structure and maturity to appeal both to drinkers and to enthusiasts looking for one of the stronger flagship reds from Cyprus. This is an inference based on the reviewed winery and merchant descriptions.

This is not a rarity-led collector wine in the scarcity-driven sense, but it has strong appeal as a flagship Cyprus red with cellar potential and a premium reputation. It is better viewed as an enthusiast’s bottle rather than a routine red blend, with much of its appeal coming from its estate fruit, mature style, unfiltered presentation, and the fact that it sits at the top end of the Vlassides red range.
