Commandaria Collection

Commandaria is a traditional wine of Cyprus with a protected designation of origin and is considered the oldest named wine in history, with a winemaking tradition dating back 5,000 years. It has been produced continuously, following the same winemaking method that is still practised today.

Commandaria rose to fame during the Crusades and the Knights of the Order of St. John. It was during this period that the wine acquired its name from the 'Grand Command Area', the territory administered by the Knights.
