Producer Notes
Xynisteri is the main white-wine variety of Cyprus. Covering a large portion of the island nation's vineyard, the variety is used to make both light, refreshing white wines.
Medium-bodied with pronounced aromas of white peach and citrus. Dry light pear, citrus.
This zesty, tart-yet-fruity white has mouthwatering acidity and notes of lime, grapefruit, freshly cut grass and green kiwi. It is made by none other than Ido Lewinsohn, the famous Master of Wine and technical director of Barkan and Segal wineries in Israel.
Best with either soft cheeses, creamy pasta or some crunchy schnitzel. I know it is hard to stop smelling this wine, as its refreshing and floral aromas are apparent even to inexperienced wine drinkers, but it would be a shame to pass on sipping it!
