Absolute taste of Cyprus #cypruswine. Cyprus Wines and the constancy in the pursuit of further excellence. Congratulations to the new wineries participating and to Sodap and 2002 vintage of St. Barnabas Commandaria for the Decanter Awards– still carrying the flag for the absolute taste of Cyprus in Wine.
A newly redesign of it’s visual identity, Vouni Panayia Winery opens itself to a renewal with the launch of new labels that unveil the past, focus on the present and looks towards the future as a reflection of the foundations and vision of the family winery. The Plakota label above is an example of the implementation of the new design.
Un monde en Rosé - A world of taste gone to Rosé. Beyond clichés, it’s actually a sensation and a feeling that resonates with many.
We too are of the opinion that Rosés have won themselves a distinct place further from the confines of summer drinks or picturesque holiday postcards. Thus a firm candidate joining the wines of finest expression of local terroirs in the annual competition Le Mondial du Rosé led by the Union de Oenologues de France.
Congratulations to Sodap for their constancy and participation in this event with the Maratheftiko Rosé, yet another Silver Medal.

Triumph…St.Nicholas Commandaria Wine by Etko Re-named just in time for Winter Fancy Foods Show #WFFS13 - captured today by Gastronomique EnVogue (GEV) only in San Francisco.
Jesus was a winemaker & @villa_cyprus Commandaria’s dessert wine was the one used at The Last Supper #WFFS13 twitter.com/GEVMagazine/st…
RT @GEVMagazine: @Villa_Cyprus imports Commandaria’s dessert wine just in time for Winter Fancy Foods Show #WFFS13 http://t.co/28NhrVYf
As an apparent effort to rename and repackage St. Nicholas Commandaria for export. It is interesting to see how a new packaging has meant also that it implied being renamed.
The new Commandaria Triumph as indicated by the photo above has not only opted for a more performing ‘monture’ - a more energetic horse that has better visibility on a new slimmer bottle. Bold or Over the top?
Compare and judge for yourself - What to you think?
