Minthis Hills Property in Cyprus – Reviews wines in Cyprus – 23 September 2010 – Cyprus Property Developer.

Minthis Hills (www.minthishills.com) is in the heart of the wine producing area around Pafos, where many excellent red, white and rose wines are produced.  Owners will be able to rent vineyards on the resort to make their own wine and large areas have been set aside for this purpose. 

For those of you wishing to sample some of the wines in the area, the closest to Minthis, Tsalapatis has a lovely Sauvignon Blanc, as well as a number of good reds and rose wines that merit a trip to the winery for a wine tasting.  Another winery, currently growing organic as well as traditional wines which is growing in reputation is Tsangarides Winery in Lemona village, slightly further away.  The Cyprus Tourist Board has created a number of wine routes for those of you wishing to do a complete wine tour, though we would advise not driving yourselves!

Cyprus has the oldest wine in the world that is still in production, Commanderia or Commandaria.  It’s not one for purists and is really more akin to a fortified wine – excellent for cooking, but it has a long history going back supposedly around 4000 years, when Homer mentions a sweet wine produced in Cyprus.

It is made from the local Cyprus mavro and xinisteri grapes and its name derives from the Gran Commanderie, an area surrounding Kolossi Castle which can be found just west of Limassol.  The Castle was the Commanderia  or headquarters of the Knights Templars in the 12th Century. The wine was consumed locally, supposedly by the Knights and also exported to many European Royal Courts.  Legend has it that, during his Marriage with Berengaria, in the 12th century Richard the Lionheart pronounced Commandaria to be the “wine of the kings and the king of the wines”
