Regional Red Dry Wine of Monemvasia
ONNAR MONEMVASIOS 2005
Grape varieties: Agiorgitiko (90%) Mavroudi(10%)
Vinification:
Selected grapes are destemed and crushed.
The grapes are inoculated by selected strains of dry active yeast. The color extraction is being done at 28 C. We extend the moment of extraction to its limits, giving to Agiorgitiko grape the chance to express its powerful character at full strength. Malolactic fermentation also takes place. Afterwards, the new wine will mature for one year in new oak barrels.
Wine description:
Agiorgitiko and Mavroudi are cultivated in vineyards in the slopes of Monemvasia
Agiorgitiko is one of the most special Greek red varieties. It gives high alcohol content, good acidity, rich color and good ripe tannins. The typical flavors of Agiorgitiko are those of some red fruits like cherry and gooseberry. MONEMVASIOS is a blend of a typical Agiorgitiko with Mavroudi. Mavroudi enhance impressively the fruity nose of Agiorgitiko, giving it more freshness. The passage in oak barrels gives the wine the aroma of vanilla and a discreet wood fragrance.

Deep ruby color, velvety texture, cherry, gooseberry, mocha, coffee, vanilla and nutty-oak flavors, round, balanced character, good ripe tannins, long finish.
