 | | Commandaria (or Commanderia) is an amber-colored dessert wine made from the indigenous Mavro and Xynistery varieties of red grapes in the Commandaria region of Cyprus (centered near the city of Kolossi). | | | A dried grape wine from Cyprus was first known to be described in 800 BC by the Greek poet Hesiod. | | | When the knights began producing large quantities of the wine in this region for export to Europe's royal courts, the wine became known by the same name. |
