Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This delicate, dry white wine is made from Kydonitsa, a rare indigenous grape grown in Laconia, in mainland Monemvasia. Beautifully aromatic, with aromas of tropical fruits, bergamot, apple, geranium and quince. Excellent acidity and a lingering finish make this wine a total delight. Pair it with phyllo pie or fresh fish with lemon and herbs.
Tasted the 2022 vintage September, 2024
From the Peloponnese P.G.I., Kydonitsa Monemvasia 2021 is a dry, fresh, medium-bodied white wine produced from the Kidonitsa grape. The wine was fermented in stainless-steel tank with five to six months on its lees, giving the wine a nice structure, finesse and fruit freshness. Kydonitsa means 'quince' and this wine does have a touch of fresh quince, apricot citrus zest and dried herb flavours building around steely acidity. Chill and enjoy it with an arugula salad topped with warm, herbed goat cheese. - Community Wine Reviews
