Native to Cyprus, Xynisteri is emerging as an exciting white varietal in Australian vineyards, particularly in warm regions where its natural freshness really shines. Australian grown Xynisteri is typically light to medium bodied, offering aromas of citrus blossom, lemon peel, green apple, and subtle stone fruit, often with a gentle saline or mineral note. Crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing finish make it an elegant and highly drinkable style.
Food Pairing
Beautiful with grilled fish, calamari, or lemon roasted chicken, as well as fresh salads and mezze style dishes. Its brightness and restraint make it an excellent partner for seafood, light Mediterranean fare, and simple, herb driven flavours.
