Pafilia Property Developers in Cyprus – Reviews oldest wine in production – 23 September 2010 – Cyprus Property Developer.

Cyprus has the oldest wine in the world that is still in production, Commandaria or Commanderia .  It’s not one for purists and is really 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”.

The Cyprus Tourism Organisation has created a number of wine routes around Cyprus that enable you to make a day of it, sampling wines from numerous vineyards will touring villages throughout Cyprus, some around Pafos, Limassol and up into the Troodos.  Cyprus wine is gaining reputation and today there are many boutique wineries producing some excellent red, white and rose wines.

September is a very popular month for tourists and Cyprus property buyers alike (www.pafilia.com).  Families with children are often constrained by the school holidays, but others can enjoy the warmth of the September sun in Cyprus.  Many people prefer to avoid the hottest months, July and August, and come when the sea is at its warmest and where the heat is extremely pleasant.  There is loads to do and see and spas to relax in. 

In addition, it is a very good time to look at property in Cyprus, especially this year.  Prices are good, there is a wide choice of property available and the most important thing, buy from a reputable developer who will help you through the whole process.  At Pafilia, this is something we work very hard to achieve and would welcome the opportunity to prove it to you.  Cyprus is our home and we hope you enjoy every minute you spend here!
