Vasilikon

Paphos winery balancing Xynisteri tradition with Bordeaux-blend ambition.

Vasilikon operates in Paphos, Cyprus, where Mediterranean warmth and limestone soils shape distinctive wines. The winery's white, made from Xynisteri, captures the indigenous character of the region—a variety prized for its mineral precision and subtle aromatics. Agios Onoufrios, a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, demonstrates the potential of these classic varieties in Cyprus's sun-exposed vineyards, where ripe fruit and structured tannins develop naturally. Wine Spectator has rated both wines, affirming their technical merit. Vasilikon's focus on both native and international grapes reflects Paphos's evolving wine identity—a place where tradition and modern viticulture converge.
