‘Promara is very special to us because it connects directly to the work of Akis Zambartas. In the 1980s, long before indigenous varieties were fashionable, Akis travelled across Cyprus researching old vineyards and rediscovering grape varieties that had almost disappeared. Promara was one of them. At the time, very few people believed these grapes had a future, but today they are a key part of Cypriot wine identity. Whilst Promara still makes for less than 1% of the grapes grown on this island, it has grown in popularity at the winery, originally starting with only 450 bottles for the first vintage.’
