Cyprus Wine The most ancient wine of Cyprus is undoubtedly the wine now known as "Commandaria", which, in the distant past, was consumed in great quantities at the spring time festivals of Aphrodite. The worlds As oldest named wine, "Commandaria", derived its name from the "Grand Commandarie", a huge estate at Colossi belonging to the Knights Hospitallers of the 12th-14th centuries. Richard the Lionheart enjoyed the wine so much that he called it the "wine of Kings" and the "King of wine".
