CONSTANTINOU SHIRAZ 2019
Country: Cyprus, Limassol, Pera Pedi
Grape Varieties: Shiraz 100%
A red dry wine made with extreme caution to the raw material (grapes). Shiraz Constantinou is made 100% from Shiraz grapes from well-established and well-grown vineyards. A full-bodied wine that passes 12 months in oak barrels and another 12 months in bottles before its release in the market. Malolactic Fermentation improves the organoleptic part of the wine with tastes of butter. This process has the ability to bring the wine into microbial stability and decrease its acidic aspect.

Constantinou Winery
Was founded in 1992 by Costas Constantinou, an ambitious young businessman born in Pera Pedi village, located on the outskirts of Limassol District in Cyprus. The winery initially started out with the production of liqueurs, one of them,  the Coffee Liqueur which was a huge success and is still being sold today. A few years later, Constantinou wanted to expand his liqueur business further and he decided to explore the world of wines. In 2000 he produced his first white dry wine named “Ayioklima”. The first harvest took place in a small stone-built house in Pera Pedi Village. Due to increased production and success of the business, in August 2009 the winery was relocated to a brand new building of 800sm.

The Grape
Syrah/ Shiraz

A noble black grape variety grown particularly in the Northern Rhône where it produces the great red wines of Hermitage, Cote Rôtie and Cornas, and in Australia where it produces wines of startling depth and intensity. Reasonably low yields are a crucial factor for quality as is picking at optimum ripeness. Its heartland, Hermitage and Côte Rôtie, consists of 270 hectares of steeply vineyards producing wines that brim with pepper, spices, tar and black treacle when young. After 5-10 years they become smooth and velvety with pronounced fruit characteristics of damsons, raspberries, blackcurrants and loganberries.

It is now grown extensively in the Southern Rhône where it is blended with Grenache and Mourvèdre to produce the great red wines of Châteauneuf du Pape and Gigondas amongst others. Its spiritual home in Australia is the Barossa Valley, where there are plantings dating as far back as 1860. Australian Shiraz tends to be sweeter than its Northern Rhône counterpart and the best examples are redolent of new leather, dark chocolate, liquorice, and prunes and display a blackcurrant lusciousness.
