Traditionally, Cypriot winemakers used Maratheftiko to add color to the pale red wines made from the most widely planted Mavro grape. That's no longer the case. Maratheftiko is a quality grape, and Cypriot winemakers' best know this. That's why it's been increasingly planted in recent years. Most of the vines now being used by young, modern Cypriot winemakers are therefore still young. The full potential of Maratheftiko will therefore only be revealed in the coming decades. It's definitely a grape to watch.

We currently have two wines made from the Maratheftiko grape in our range. You can view our Maratheftiko wines here.
