The naturally sweet wine Monemvasia-Malvasia was created with passion, persistence, and care.
INFO
Its production begins with the sun drying of overripe grapes for almost twelve days, followed by the collection of the concentrated grape must and its fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. The maturation is done in oak barrels and lasts two years.
Amber-colored with golden shades, intense aromas and complexity with elements of dry fruit, caramel, nuts, and coconut. The concentrated sweetness of its flavor and the subtle tannins and distinctive high acidity are in perfect balance on the palate. Its aftertaste is delicious and lasting, as is its fascinating story.
Desserts with good acidity, elements of nuts, caramel or honey.
Optimal serving temperatures 44.6- 48.2 degrees F / 7- 9°C. Infinite cellaring potential.
VARIETY
Monemvasia
Local, rare variety ripening in the end of August-early September. A fine grape vine, of medium vividness, which brings out all its typical characteristics in its natural environment.
Kydonitsa
Rare local variety, ripening in early to mid-September. Grape vine of low to medium vividness, demanding special care in its cultivation, but boasting significant potential in the wine world, which has been brought back to light thanks to our efforts. The flagship of Laconian terroir.
Assyrtiko
Favored in our territory, a variety which ripens in early to mid-August. Resilient grape variety, of medium vividness, giving off excellent results in the extreme desertlike conditions of the Laconian summer and proving the strong ties of Assyrtiko with the area of Monemvasia.
Asproudi
Early ripening local variety, ripening in early to mid-August. Large grape vine, of high vividness. Through the study we launched, in cooperation with the Hellenic Agricultural Organization “Demetra” and the Agricultural University of Athens, we found that Asproudi contains a group of unexplored varieties with great winemaking potential.
