Assyrtiko White, Monemvasia Winery, Greece, 2023

Monemvasia Winery was founded in 1997 in Monemvasia in the region of Laconia, in the Peloponnese peninsula, by Yorgos and Elli Tsimbidi. Drawing inspiration from the myth of the long-lost Malvasia wine and driven by their love for their homeland and their faith in its potential, they took the big decision to start a winery from scratch.

Wine making is very much focused on local varieties, in particular the ancient grape varietal, Malvasia. 

Today, the vineyards  of Monemvasia contain rare Greek varieties, uniquely encompassing Monemvasia’s terroir in over 30 hectares of organic vineyards.
