Keo
The island of Cyprus has a tradition of wine making
stretching back over thousands of years. The country’s
leading wine maker is the
firm of Keo, based in Limassol.
They are probably most famous for Commandaria
St. John,
a rich and intense pudding wine made from a rare ancient
indigenous grape variety, Xynisteri. The grapes grow in volcanic
soils producing
a low yield. After harvesting the grapes are
exposed directly to the sun, on
rooftops, to increase their sugar
content. The attractive and clean white wines
– Aphrodite and
Thisbe - are also both made from the ancient
Xynisteri grape
variety while the robust red Othello is made from a blend
of two
grape varieties, Mavro and Ofthalmo from vineyards at Vouni
Panayias and
Madhari Pitsillias.
