Description

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. Malvasia wine was renowned worldwide throughout the Middle-Ages, but in the 16th century under Ottoman rule, the vineyards were destroyed and production ceased. Under the restless spirit of the
Tsimbidi family, the legendary wine has been revived, in its birthplace, after five centuries. The 2012 is only the second vintage of this wine.

Monemvasia 60%, Kydonitsa 20%, Asproudi 10%, Assyrtiko 10%. The grapes were sun-dried over a period of approximately 12 days. Amber coloured, this intense, concentrated and beautifully balanced sweet wine delivers complex aromas of dried fruit, caramel, nuts, and coconut through to a deliciously long finish.
