Yiaskouris
This gives them a significant advantage. It is well known among people who are systematically involved in matters of Cyprus wine that the Yiaskouris brothers are among those few who, right from the start, realised that, unless a winery had its own vineyards, it would be impossible to produce high quality wine that would not vary – significantly – from year to year. It is not surprising that the Yiaskouris brothers, though they have expanded their ownership of vineyards, are still striving to grow more vine-plants in the Pahna region, while other wineproducers (and they are not few) labour under the delusion that one day they will make some great wine from grapes of unknown and unspecified origin, bought from all over the place!
The Yiaskouris brothers and Vlassides are the first Cypriot winemakers who gave serious attention to Shiraz, making the variety known to the wider public and revealing the immense potential of this multidynamic grape which has adapted beautifully to the xerothermic climate of the island.

The Yiaskouris brothers, Christos and Doros, are the mainstay of the winery that bears their family name. The two brothers, together with Georgia, Christos’s wife, who has a postgraduate degree in Chemistry, make up a dynamic trio, with Christos, a US university graduate in Electrical Engineering, faultlessly operating the mechanical and electrical equipment, and Doros, also a US university graduate in Business Management, looking after the economics of the business. Apart from owning one of the island’s perfectly equipped wineries, which boasts a vacuum press, stainless steel vats, underground cellars etc., the Yiaskouris brothers have one of the largest vineyards owned by small regional wineries.
