Description: Commandaria wine is a traditional sweet red wine made in a group of villages on the southern slopes of the Troodos mountains. It is closely tied to the natural environment and involves using local grape varieties and traditional winemaking techniques. These include harvesting the grapes late in the season, drying them in the sun, and ageing the wine in oak barrels. Families, cooperatives and wineries of various sizes are involved in the production of commandaria wine, and the related knowledge and skills are passed down informally during farm work, family events, festivals and celebrations.
