Spourtiko a variety with a thin brittle skin (Spourto means exploding in Cypriot) is almost always the variety that gives those wines with the lowest alcohol of all. Thin-leaved, fragile, difficult to grow, does not have many leaves and sometimes has difficulty maturing the fruit. As a wine, it has a beautiful aromatic character with pear, apple, lemon and notes of herbs and flowers and in the mouth wonderful freshness and mineral finish. It is less than 0.2% of the Cypriot vineyard and Andreas Kyriakidis saved the variety through complex old variety vineyards before starting to vinify it separately for a decade. The wine is vinified in inox tanks, with native yeasts and remains in contact with the wine sludge for 8 months. Vouni Panagia is the only Cypriot winery that cultivates exclusively indigenous Cypriot varieties. Fantastic style if one considers where Cyprus is in latitude on the map.
