During the Crusades, King Richard the Lionheart famously celebrated his wedding with this local sweet wine, naming it \"the wine of kings and the king of wines.\" When the Knights established their feudal headquarters at the Kolossi Castle—fondly named the \"Grande Commanderie\"—the surrounding vineyard lands and their legendary sweet wine adopted the official title of Commandaria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIs this wine fortified with added alcohol?\u003c\/b\u003e No, the core KEO St. John expression achieves its 15% ABV footprint through purely natural fermentation.

Once the cork is pulled, it will not spoil or sour like standard table wine. Simply re-cork the bottle and store it inside a cool refrigerator, where the fresh fig and walnut characteristics will remain pristine for up to 2 to 3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat foods pair well with this expression?\u003c\/b\u003e The wine’s dark-fruited sweetness, walnut metrics, and natural acidity pair beautifully next to intense salts, rich fats, and honeyed pastries. It pairs magnificently next to traditional baklava, roasted walnuts, dark chocolate truffles, or a rich foie gras terrine. On a savory spread, its oxidative character acts as a flawless counterpart to a plate of long-aged Roquefort, Stilton, or sharp blue cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eTechnical Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eThe primary technical advantage of KEO St. John Commandaria lies in its pairing of an outdoor Appassimento grape desiccation loop with a traditional, non-fortified natural fermentation and continuous Solera oak maturation, providing an unmatched structural viscosity, a low-viscosity mouthfeel, and an absolute varietal-purity tracking that mass-market artificially back-sweetened dessert wines cannot mimic.
