1884 Great credit for the continued flourishing of the Islands winemaking industry has to be down to one man. Christodoulos Haggipavlu Tradition is something we cherish at ETKO, the company has grown to become one of the largest manufacturers of wine on the island and is now a public company, still, that sense of coming from strong roots still pervades everything we do. Welcome to our winery 'Professional vineyard management, state of the art technology, the importation of foreign wine makers as advisors, and a consistent standard of excellence in the finished product are the key elements which contribute to ETKO’s strong National and International reputation. Currently the intake capacity of the Limassol winery is around 30 million kilos of grapes per harvest. The crushing facility is 1 million kilos of grapes per day. The planting of new vineyards with new varieties of grapes has been undertaken and is part of the long term planning by ETKO to carefully create new and acceptable grape variations. With this in mind the company purchased vineyards for the planting of grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Riesling and Merlot. ETKO have also built a new regional winery under the name Olympus Winery. This winery although set in the traditional old fashioned environs of Omodos village, boasts a state of the art factory floor for the production of quality wines using grapes harvested from the nearby vineyards. In addition there is set into the bowels of the Olympus winery an isothermic cellar, which has a maturing capacity for one million bottles of red wine.
