GR Monemvasia Μονεμβασία Malvasia Liastos Sweet (375ml)

Monemvasia Winery was created as a vision of the Tsimpidis family to put the unique but lost-in-time terroir of Monemvasia back on the global wine map, investing exclusively in Greek, indigenous varieties.

Three hundred acres of organic vineyards that give us wines with formality and concentrated character.

ONLY 9800 bottles produced of this very special wine after 17 years of effort.

REGION: Greece / Peloponnesos

ALC: 13.5%

VARIETALS: 60% Monemvasia, 20% Kydonitsa, 10% Assyrtiko, 10% Asproudi

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.

TASTING NOTES:

A charming wine with orange and golden hues, which over time result in auburn brick red and amber hues. Intense aroma, complex flavour and hints of exotic spices. Rich round and velvety body. Sweet taste of honey, raisins and dried fruits which masterfully balance the acidity of this exceptional wine of the four varieties. The aftertaste is very enjoyable and long lasting…. as its exciting story!

PAIRING:

Desserts with good acidity, elements of nuts, caramel or honey.  Serve Cold at 7 degrees C.
