The vineyard of the island covers the central and western mountainous areas of Rhodes. Their altitude, the soil and their orientation combined with the microclimate of the island are the catalysts for the production of excellent quality grapes. The vineyard of Rhodes is 60% focused on white wines based on the varieties Athiri, white Moschato and Malagouzia.
The red varieties Mandilaria (also known as Amorgiano), Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tempranillo are mainly cultivated in the northern part of the central-west outskirts of Attaviros mountain and the arc created by the villages Damatria – Salakos – Kritinia.
CAIR has a privileged relationship with the vineyards and viticulturists of Rhodes. Having long-term contracts with them, the company guides and scientifically supports the cultivation of vines aiming to the production of excellent quality grapes. On the other hand, the company’s own privately owned vineyards are the arena not only of the production of exceptional wine products but also of experimentation with new varieties that renew the range of CAIR products.
Our goal is through indigenous varieties, with a history of at least of 2500 years as well as international varieties that thrive on our island, to highlight the distinctive characteristics of the terroir of Rhodes, as they are expressed through wine.
– Bruno Rossi, Founder and Owner
