Vinea Ardua Vineyards Lefkosia Xynisteri Old Vines Eteon 2020 750 ML

Vinea Ardua, Latin for steep grapevine. A fitting name for the kind of steep slope vineyards that surround the Laxia Mountain top, near our Farmakas village, and have been standing there for over 100 years. The native white variety Xynisteri is rare among these vineyards, being trained from the original old vine. Eteon (from ancient Greek ετεός – eteos meaning genuine) is our white wine produced from old vine grapes grown organically. 50% is vinified in traditional clay pots (pitharia) and 50% in stainless steel tanks, remaining for 3-4 months in oak barrels and another 3-4 in stainless steel tanks. Bottled without stabilization, following a mild filtering process.
