Monemvasia Winery Tsimbidi, Monemvasia 2022

The Monemvasia vineyard is situated just six miles from the sea at an altitude of 250 to 300 metres above sea-level. The combination of poor soils and hot climate, encourage the vine’s roots to penetrate deep into the soils, where they are nourished by minerals and soil water and in turn produce wines with complexity. The grapes were sorted and the juice was extracted and fermented with selected yeasts in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks of up to 18°C. The wine as matured for six months on its lees, with periodic stirring to imbue the wine with added texture.

The Monemvasia Winery Tsimbidi was founded in 1997 with a clear objective: to revive the production of Malvasia wine in its birth place. The Frankish name for Monemvasia is Malvasia, which originally lent its name to the wine. In the 12th century and for the subsequent 300 years, this wine ruled the European world. It is still produced in many countries, but until recently was not being produced in the country of its origin - Greece. The Monemvasia Winery created the first privately owned 121 hectares of vineyard, planted with local varieties. It is committed to producing quality wines which showcase the characteristics of the indigenous varieties and the terroir of the peninsula of Maleus.
