Nicolaides

The Nicolaides Winery is found in the village of Anoyira, Limassol District, on a plateau 400-600 metres above sea level., Traditionally it is a vinicultural area where the earliest Cypriot wine varieties were planted.

Due to the Mediterranean climate, the exceptional ground and climatic conditions of region and the poor lime stone grounds are real gifts of nature for good, qualitative wine. The tradition of family Nicolaides for more than three generations is irretrievably linked with the art of the wine industry, which maintains, promotes and upgrades throughout the years.

In the middle of the century Grandfather Nicolas first worked the vine and traditionally produced wine, ouzo and zivania. These were times when wine presses did not exist and the pressing was done with the feet, known as “patitiri” the transfusions were done manually and the transport of the vintage was in traditional hampers by donkey.
