Maratheftiko: Indigenous red variety that produces exuberant wines, strong in alcohol and an extract with manifestations of violet and small red forest fruits aromas, aromatic herbs of the Cypriot countryside and spices such as vanilla, cinnamon and black pepper; wines constituting proof that Cyprus produces terroir wines.
