Cyprus has a rich history of winemaking, and among the prominent wineries in the country is Aes Ambelis, located on the slopes of Kalo Chorio Orinis in the Nicosia district. Boasting a thirty-acre vineyard, Aes Ambelis Winery has gained renown for producing high-quality wines with unique character.
Founded in the early 1990s, Aes Ambelis Winery stands as a two-level structure equipped with modern wine-making facilities, underground cellars for barrel and bottle aging, and a tasting reception hall. The estate lies on the slopes of Kalo Chorio Orinis, approximately 28 km southwest of the capital.
The vineyards of Aes Ambelis Winery thrive in the heart of the Kalo Chorio Orinis region. These well-tended vineyards feature grape varieties like Maratheftiko, Shiraz, and Chardonnay, which are cultivated using natural farming techniques. During the harvest season in October, the grapes are carefully handpicked.
The winery offers a diverse range of wines, from Chardonnay and Shiraz to Rose and Cabernet Sauvignon, all crafted from native Cypriot grape varietals. Notably, the red Maratheftiko is a prized blend from ancient times, and the Winery is known for its Cypriot dessert wine, Commandaria. The latest addition to their family is the white wine Morokanella, produced from the eponymous native grape variety. Aes Ambelis Rosé, with its lively pink hue and intense red fruit flavors, is a refreshing and gastronomic Cyprus rosé.
Open year-round to the public, Aes Ambelis Winery welcomes visitors for tastings and tours. Their versatile reception hall and picturesque gardens offer an excellent venue for various events. Guests have the opportunity to sample wines in the purpose-built tasting hall, which overlooks both the barrel aging cellar and the scenic Pitsilia mountains.
