TASTING NOTES
Brilliant pale straw with green reflections.
An elegant and expressive bouquet of white peach, ripe pear and citrus zest unfolds alongside delicate aromas of orange blossom, jasmine and Mediterranean herbs. Subtle mineral notes add depth and freshness.
Fresh and vibrant on the palate, combining the crisp acidity and mineral backbone of Assyrtiko with the floral character and generous fruit of Morokanella. Layers of lemon, grapefruit, green apple and stone fruit are balanced by a silky texture and a touch of saline minerality that reflects the Cypriot terroir. The blend highlights the complementary nature of these two varieties.
Finish is long, clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus, white flowers and a delicate mineral lift.

Sommelier's Note
A modern expression of Cypriot white wine, Symbiosis brings together the precision and structure of Assyrtiko with the aromatic charm of the indigenous Morokanella. The result is a vibrant, food-friendly wine that is equally enjoyable as an aperitif or alongside Mediterranean cuisine, celebrating the harmony—or symbiosis—between an internationally acclaimed Greek variety and one of Cyprus' rare native grapes.
