"Cyprus is a complicated placeÇpart Greek, part Turkish, mostly mountainous (which only makes the right-hand drive cars, a remnant of British rule, that much more challenging). If you start at the coastal city of P phos, the Makaro£nas Winery is a half-hour drive northeast into the foothills. ThatÂs where youÂll find the vineyard that produced this xynist‚ri, a local white variety. The¢d?ros Makaro£nas organically farms his ungrafted bush vines, producing this elegantly ripe and soft white wine. For tastings editor Corey Warren, the wine brought to mind chenin blancÇperhaps because of the lanolin notes girding its center of fall apples, melon and pastry cream. For drinking now, alongside skillet chicken with a creamy lemon-garlic sauce."
