Winemaker notes

Crafted in the heart of Cyprus, our Lionspirit Olympia Medium Sweet Wine is a celebration of local heritage and viticultural excellence. This wine is made from a careful blend of indigenous grape varieties, each selected for their ability to contribute to the wine’s aromatic complexity and balanced sweetness.

The vineyards are situated in regions with ideal microclimates that ensure optimal ripening of the grapes. The warm Cypriot sun and cool breezes create a unique terroir, allowing the fruit to develop a rich spectrum of flavors while maintaining essential acidity. Our winemaking process is designed to preserve these natural flavors and aromas. We employ a gentle pressing and fermentation at controlled temperatures, followed by a meticulous blending process that harmonizes the distinct characteristics of each varietal.

The result is a wine with a vibrant purple hue, exuding aromas of ripe stone fruits and tropical undertones, complemented by a floral bouquet that hints at the lush landscapes of our island. On the palate, LionSpirit Olympia offers a luscious sweetness balanced by a crisp acidity, making it not only a delightful aperitif but also a versatile companion to a wide array of dishes—from spicy Asian cuisine to rich, creamy desserts.

We take pride in producing a wine that not only reflects the unique characteristics of our local grapes but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Cyprus. Enjoy LionSpirit Olympia Medium Sweet Wine as a celebration of life’s sweet moments and the enduring spirit of Cypriot winemaking.
