Description
Fikardos' Xynisteri 2024 showcases the modern side of Cyprus' most important white grape variety. The vineyards are located in the higher regions of the island, where cooler nights lend freshness and tension to the grapes despite the Mediterranean climate. This makes the wine appear significantly more precise and elegant than one often expects from southern white wines.
The 2024 vintage presents itself as light-footed and lively, with a clear, straightforward character. Instead of opulent aromatics, the Xynisteri focuses more on freshness, fine spice, and a pleasant saline minerality. It is precisely this uncomplicated yet characterful style that makes it so accessible.
Fikardos deliberately interprets the indigenous grape variety in a modern and clear way, resulting in a Mediterranean white wine with excellent drinkability, cool freshness, and a distinctive Cypriot signature.
