Description

Madari Hills Collection Xynisteri di Ekfraseis è un vino bianco che racchiude in sé l'essenza delle colline di Madari a Cipro. Questo vitigno autoctono, Xynisteri, è conosciuto per la sua freschezza e per i suoi aromi fruttati e floreali. Nel calice, il vino si presenta con un colore giallo paglierino brillante, che anticipa un bouquet olfattivo intrigante e raffinato.

Al naso, emergono note di agrumi freschi, come limone e pompelmo, arricchite da sentori di mela verde e fiori bianchi. In bocca, il Madari Hills Collection Xynisteri si distingue per la sua acidità vivace e ben equilibrata, che dona al vino una piacevole freschezza. Il palato viene deliziato da un sapore fruttato e leggermente minerale, caratteristica tipica dei terreni calcareo-argillosi delle colline di Madari.

La fermentazione in acciaio inox consente di preservare la purezza e la freschezza dei sapori, rendendolo un vino perfetto per accompagnare piatti a base di pesce, frutti di mare, insalate e formaggi freschi. Questo vino bianco, con il suo carattere distintivo e la sua eleganza, è un'espressione autentica del territorio cipriota, ideale per chi cerca un'esperienza enologica unica e ricca di tradizione.

Winery history

Ekfraseis was founded by winemaker Christos Vassiliades and is based in the village of Chandria, in the Limassol district. The official website states that the winery began as the winemaker’s personal project and has developed into a modern, well-equipped facility designed to enhance the grapes from the area’s high-altitude vineyards.

Production philosophy

The winery emphasizes the expression of its mountain terroir: respect for nature, careful attention to the quality of grapes from high-altitude vineyards, and a creative approach to winemaking that alternates classic methods with the winemaker’s experimentation. Limited productions and numbered collections dedicated to distinctive wines are part of its output.
