Description
Vlassides Pelagitis Asyrtiko 75cl, 13.5% is a Cyprus white wine made from Assyrtiko by Vlassides Winery. Your site listing confirms the 75cl bottle size and 13.5% ABV, while recent winery and trade references describe Pelagitis as a more serious, terroir-led Assyrtiko release with ageing potential and a more structured style than a simple fresh-drinking white.
The reviewed descriptions show a wine shaped by limestone-rich Cypriot soils and Assyrtiko’s naturally high acidity. A recent winery note says the wine is bottled unfiltered, aged for another year before release, and can continue evolving for another eight to ten years, while trade references describe whole-bunch pressing, a small barrel-fermented component, fine-lees contact, and a profile centred on citrus peel, lemon blossom, green apple, salinity, and mineral persistence. That places it firmly in the category of a more ambitious Cyprus white, with more depth, texture, and cellar interest than a routine young aromatic wine.

Collector’s Note
This is not a rarity-led collector wine in the scarcity-driven sense, but it has strong appeal as a serious Cyprus Assyrtiko with terroir character and cellar potential. It is better viewed as an enthusiast’s bottle rather than a simple drink-now white, with much of its appeal coming from the unfiltered presentation, mineral structure, restrained oak influence, and the wine’s ability to develop over time. This is an inference based on the reviewed winery and trade descriptions.
