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, Rieslingand Merlot. ETKO have also built
a new regional winery under the name Olympus wines. 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.
Olympus Winery Hellas
ETKO which is the oldest Greek Cypriot Winery was founded in 1844. When the directors of ETKO decided to broaden their horizons, they purchased a winery in Episkopi Tegeas, Tripoli which is in the Peloponnese area of Greece. This winery which was called Olympus Winery Hellas was renovated and modernized in accordance with the latest European Union standards.
The Olympus Winery does not only aspire to offer the consumer new products from time to time. The point of the whole exercise is to promote a love for wine within the boundaries of our rich heritage and culture as ETKO has been doing for over one and a half centuries.
