CYPRIOT WINES
We can't say it's been a hardship having to taste some local wines in order to put
together our recommendations for you! The team got together, swirled, sniffed
and tasted (the best bit!) simply for your benefit. Here is our short list of local
wines that we love and recommend you to try during your holiday to Cyprus. La
Bodega Cava stock a wonderful range of local and international wines and even
offer a delivery service (see page 84).
