My family has grown grapes in the hills above Limassol for three generations, in villages that still produce Commandaria the traditional way. On camera I walk the vineyard paths and the village streets, explaining why this dessert wine is considered the oldest named wine still in production anywhere. I cannot pour a glass through the screen, so I describe the taste and the process in as much detail as I can manage instead. I like ending calls at the small village museum that explains traditional wine-making methods before they were mechanised.
