Which grapes are native to Cyprus?

The best known are Xynisteri (white), Mavro (red) and Maratheftiko (red). Several routes also grow international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.

What is Commandaria?

A sweet wine from the Commandaria villages on the southern slopes of Troodos, made from Mavro and Xynisteri grapes. Its own route passes through the villages that make it.
