Commandaria | Local Wine Appellation From Limassol District, Republic of Cyprus | TasteAtlas

Commandaria

This amber-colored dessert wine hails from the eponymous Cypriot region. The wine is exclusively produced from sun-dried Xynisteri (white) and Mavro (red) grape varieties, both of which are indigenous to Cyprus. The wine is matured for a minimum of two years and is often fortified with the addition of pure grape spirit. Commandaria wines typically display incredibly fragrant aromatic profile with complex notes of honey, raisins, carob, and spices.


They are a perfect match to nuts, dried fruit, or mature cheese, while some styles may pair well with dark chocolate. Commandaria is often dubbed as one of the oldest wines in the world, believed to have first been mentioned in 800 BC.
