Commandaria St. Nicholas 2008 is a fortified wine produced in the Commandaria region of Cyprus. It is made from two indigenous grape varieties, Xynisteri and Mavro, which are grown on the slopes of the Troodos Mountains. The wine is named after the nearby village of St. Nicholas, where it is traditionally produced.
In terms of appearance, Commandaria St. Nicholas 2008 has a deep amber color with golden hues. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of dried fruits such as raisins, figs, and dates, along with hints of caramel and honey. These aromas are further complemented by notes of nuts, spices, and a touch of oak.
On the palate, Commandaria St. Nicholas 2008 is rich and full-bodied, with a velvety texture. The flavors of dried fruits continue to dominate, accompanied by sweet notes of toffee and butterscotch. There is also a pleasant acidity that balances the sweetness and adds freshness to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a delightful aftertaste of dried fruits and spices.
This particular vintage of Commandaria St. Nicholas has been aged for at least 7 years in oak barrels before bottling. This extended aging process contributes to its complexity and depth of flavor.
Commandaria St. Nicholas 2008 is best enjoyed slightly chilled, around 12-14°C (54-57°F). It can be served as an aperitif or paired with various desserts such as chocolate-based desserts, fruit tarts, or creamy cheeses. Its sweetness also makes it a suitable companion for foie gras or blue cheese.
