MONEMVASIA WINERY

HALL 9 A 68

Monemvasia Winery was founded in 1997 in Velies, a part of the municipality of Monemvasia in the district of Lakonia. Monemvasia was famous from ancient times not only for its privileged location and its well known fortress-castle “Castro” but also for its “reputed Malvasia wine” produced in the wider area of Monemvasia from which it acquired its name (Malvasia as the Francs used to call Monemvasia). From the 12th century and for five hundred years, Malvasia wine dominated the Eastern and Western markets; never before was a wine so famous for so long.

Finally, on 23 July, 2010 the issue of 1125 of the official Government Gazette was published where the wines ‘Monemvasia-Malvasia’ were recognized with protected designation of origin for sweet white wine from sundried grapes and wine liqueur from sundried grapes.

From this research and experimental vineyards, MONEMVASIA WINERY, having the raw material (grapes), produced experimentally sundried sweet wine ‘Μονεμβασία-Malvasia’ with exceptional results.

Building on this unique tradition, Monemvasia Winery, with knowledge and respect for the history of its region, produces quality bottled wines traded under the names of:
Monemvasios, Laloudi, Maleatis, Kastropolitia, Asyrtiko, Kidonitsa, Asproudi, Fileri, Anthosmias, Agiorgitiko, Moschofilero, Metropolis, 300, Monemvasia – Malvasia.
