About Winery and Wines
Monemvasia Winery was founded in 1997 in Monemvasia in the region of Laconia 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.
The fervor and dedication in reviving the medieval Malvasia wine urged them to seek out the local grape varieties and the traditional ways of vinification. Throughout this journey, they stumbled upon and experimented with rare varieties, and thus Monemvasia, Kydonitsa, Asproudi, and Mavroudi came out of obscurity.
With the launch of our winery in 1997, the vineyards became our top priority. We devoted our first years of operation to the documentation and study of local varieties, while experimenting with winemaking processes, until in 2005 we started planting our first vines.
Today, we are the proud growers of a collection of rare varieties, uniquely encompassing Monemvasia’s terroir in our 30 hectares of organic vineyards.
