LionSpirit Winery & Distillery

The winery

Mountain-grown Cyprus, by the glass.

Indigenous varieties, expressive wines and Commandaria shaped by altitude, patience and more than 350 years of family heritage.

The wines

Grown and bottled in Kato Platres. Indigenous Cypriot fruit — Xynisteri, Maratheftiko, Mavro, Lefkada, and the rare Vasilissa and Promara — alongside Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache Noir. Listed light to dark.
