Tryfera
Introduction
Tryfera is one of the rarest and most aromatic white varieties of the Aegean, which until recently remained "hidden" in the traditional vineyards of the Cyclades. With its official recognition in 2025, Tryfera emerges from obscurity, promising to offer a fresh new breath to the island wine map. Official Registration: The variety is now officially registered in the National Catalogue (Government Gazette B’ 3831/18.07.2025) as Tryfera B. International Registry: In the VIVC, it appears with the prime name TRYPHERA (ID 12676), recorded as a white Greek variety (Blanc) with green berry color. Character: Its name suggests something delicate and refined, a trait that seems to be reflected in its aromatic dynamism.
Tasting Notes
Aromas: It has good aromatic potential with dominant notes of citrus and white flowers. Taste: Expect lively acidity and a characteristic minerality, typical of Cycladic wines that grow by the sea. Texture: Its wine tends to be elegant and airy, justifying its name.
Terroir
Cyclades: Its geographical base is located in the central and southern Aegean. Paros: Referred to as one of the historical local white varieties of the island. Folegandros: There it is characterized as "very rare," with particular aromatic value. Cultivation: It survives on an extremely limited scale, mainly in dry, hot vineyards where the sea breeze and arid soil shape its character.
