Dafermou – Xynisteri

Introduction

Best served slightly chilled, Dafermou Xynisteri is a dry white wine, which develops its own distinctive, fresh and elegant character from the aromatic local Xynisteri variety. This wine features intense freshness entwined with delicate aromas, making it a great accompaniment for any pleasure-filled occasion.

Blend and Aging

A blend of 70% Xynisteri and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, the Dafermou Xynisteri proves that two of Cyprus’s best white grapes can work beautifully together. This wine is a harmonious blend of the best of both varietals, with 25 per cent maturation in new oak barriques adding complexity and depth, and subtle tones of spice and nuttiness lending further intrigue to the wine’s hugely expressive array of fresh fruit flavours.

Aroma and Taste

When it opens, Xynisteri explodes with lifted aromas of fruit (peach and white plum) and nuts. It has a powerful freshness and vibrancy, on a palate alive with lime, lemon, white flower and passion fruit.

Pairing

This wine can be enjoyed throughout the meal, with sushi, fish or pasta. It is an absolute delight, accentuating the taste of every meal. With fish, it brings out its delicate aroma; with pasta, it makes every bite a delight. Whether you’re indulging in a whole fish, a steaming bowl of cuttlefish ink spaghetti or an elegant composition of sushi rolls, Dafermou Xynisteri makes the dining experience unforgettable.

Serving

Being so lively, Dafermou Xynisteri is best served chilled at 8-10°C. At this temperature you will be able to enjoy all the flavours and aromas this wine has to offer. Xynisteri tastes even better with friends.

Conclusion

To sum up, Dafermou Xynisteri from Cyprus embodies an expressive, intense freshness and bold aromatic flavours of the Mediterranean. A wine to savour on its own or with food, it is the perfect embodiment of the beauty of Cyprus and its fine wines!
