Monemvasia 300 White 2023
300 white is a blend between Kydonitsa and Assyrtiko, two special varieties, complementing each other.
Kydonitsa is as local a grape as can be, as it is essentially unknown outside this corner of the Peloponnese, known as Lakonia. The name translates as “little quince”, which is appropriate to the puckerish, appley tones it offers. Blended with the broader-shouldered Assyrtiko, it makes for a compellingly suave and fine white, which is “Spartan” only in its understated strength, not in its quotient of vinous pleasure, which is considerable.

Monemvasia 300 White 2023
In unity there is strength, inspired by this idea we created a blend of two exceptional varieties of the Laconian terroir. Kydonitsa is a rare local variety that gives the aromatic intensity and Assyrtiko, one of the most noble greek varieties and especially suited for the warm and semi-arid climate of Monemvasia, gives its distinctive spark of minerality and acidity to the blend.
White vinification in a stainless-steel tank, fermented at a controlled temperature and maturing for five and a half months on the fine lees with periodic stirring.
Bright yellow-green color, rich aromas with elements of quince, citrus, grapefruit and minerality on the palate. Excellent balance between the crisp acidity and the well-structured body. Pleasant long finish.
Meat dishes with herbs, vegetables with garlic, Mediterranean dishes with tomatoes and olive oil.
