Discover the extraordinary Monemvasia Malvasia Vin Liastos from Monemvasia Winery Tsimbidi, a remarkable sweet wine sourced from the historic terroir of Laconia in southern Greece. Paying homage to the birthplace of Malvasia wine, Monemvasia Winery Tsimbidi has revived a legendary tradition, cultivating indigenous grape varieties with passion and precision. Set against the rugged backdrop of the Maleas Peninsula, just six miles from the Aegean Sea, the vineyards thrive in sun-drenched conditions, cooled by the 'Meltemia' breezes. Finely tuned organic principles, hand-harvesting, and low yields ensure every bottle bursts with authentic character. Sun-dried grapes and a long maturation in oak barrels combine to deliver a wine that captures both the history and vibrancy of its origin.
