WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Zambartas Xinisteri 2021 is produced using grapes from organically cultivated, low-yielding old vines situated at high altitudes. The winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to emphasize the purity of the Xynisteri grape's fruit and aromatic expression. The wine is not aged in oak, with the objective being to maintain its fresh and vibrant character. This approach aligns with the winery's philosophy of highlighting indigenous Cypriot varietals and their unique terroir.
