It is a great honor for Cyprus that our “Commandaria” wine of the Kyperounda winery was among the wines selected for a formal dinner held at Buckingham Palace. Specifically, the Kyperounda Commandery was offered during the formal dinner hosted by Queen Elizabeth II celebrating the official opening ceremony of the two-day Summit of Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CHOGM), on Thursday the 19th of April, 2018. The President of the Republic of Cyprus Mr. Nikos Anastasiades was also present at the event. The dinner was attended by members of the Royal Family as well as delegates of the Summit.

“Petritis” wine was featured among other wines around the world for the presentation of the 8th edition of the book “The World Atlas of Wine” by Jancis Robinson and Hugh Johnson. The book “The World Atlas of Wine” is considered one of the most valuable and substantial publications to date and remains one of the most popular titles among readers. Furthermore, “The World Atlas of Wine” is acknowledged by experts as the most valid reference work for wine.

Our “Petritis” wine was included in an article on wines made from high altitude vineyards in the British Independent. The popular British newspaper reports that the variety of sapphire made by “Petritis” comes from an altitude of an impressive 1400 meters above sea level.

Another important international award was granted to the Kyperounda winery, as the world renowned wine magazine “Decanter”, included the “Petritis” wine among the 25 most impressive wines in the United Kingdom for under £25, in the April issue.

This is the second time that “Petritis” wine is featured on a similar list of “Decanter” magazine after it appeared among the 50 most impressive wines under £50 in the January 2017 issue.
