Co-op Mountain Vines Cyprus Reserve Cabernet Maratheftiko £4.49. A nice blend of a traditional variety and of Cabernet Sauvignon. This blend works well and gives a nice round smooth palate with good length.

Thisbe – medium white is more off dry than a sweet wine. You get apples and hints of peach on the palate- made from the Xynisteri grape in the Akamos region. £3.50

Co-op Island Vines Cyprus – a nice zingy white with a good style and an easy aromatic quaffer. Made by two Australian winemakers, Nick Butler and Matthew Jenkins.
£3.49 – In 1996 the Co-op initiated a project to update the vines and the equipment and it shows. Very nice.

Commandaria St John made from Mavro, Xynisteri. The nose is similar to those lovely Oz Muscats or to Marsala from Sicily. The palate is of wonder dried figs.

Aphrodite white from Tescos – quite better palate and fresh- made from Xynisteri grape in the Lemesos and Krasochoria region £3.89

Othello red – Keo from Tescos – rather rustic and youthful. Made from Mavro and Ophthalmo grapes in Pilsillia region and Panayla region £3.99
