Zambartas Promara (3 Bottle Minimum)

Promara is a long-forgotten white grape variety indigenous to Cyprus. It is the first Cypriot grape variety to ripen every year, hence its name. Thick-skinned with dense flesh, it does not yield as much juice per kilogram as other white grape varieties—a good reason to fall into decline in the past until today. Currently, the Promara vineyards represent less than 1% of the total vineyard area in Cyprus.
