This is what good wine from the Monemvasia grape tastes like

Monemvasia is a relatively rare, unknown grape variety that you sometimes encounter in the Cyclades. These are the islands in the Aegean Sea, roughly between Athens and Crete. Monemvasia has a reputation for producing fairly full-bodied white wines, sometimes quite high in alcohol. They are spicy, with good fruit and depth. Some winemakers make sweet wines from it. The best dry Monemvasia wines come from slightly cooler vineyards.

Monemvasia (also Monemvassia) originates from the tiny island of the same name, right off the southern coast of the Peloponnese. As far as we know, wine is no longer produced there. Nowadays, it can be found on several other islands. It is said to be an ancient grape that already enjoyed a good reputation in the Middle Ages as an ingredient in sweet Greek Malvasia wines. Although the proof is still pending, several winemakers in Greece have begun to recreate this renowned blend, including Monemvasia.
