A New Wave of Cypriot Wines
By Sotiris Neophytidis
Cypriot wine has evolved impressively over the last fifteen years from the vineyard to the cellar, and a rising number of wineries are exporting to USA, Switzerland and the rest of Europe. Vouni Panayia Winery exports 10%, Tsiakkas Winery 15% and Zambartas Wineries 5 % of their total production.
