Vous Monemvasia is a monovarietal of the historic and original grape that gave birth to all the Malvasia grapes, farmed organically and untrained in the Cyclades.

The Chrysoloras vineyards on the island of Serifos are certified organic, but his methods come close to “no-farming“. Zero training and lack of irrigation, force the ground crawling vines to develop natural defenses under the hot Cycladic sun, while the canopy protects the grapes from the island’s strong winds and cruel sun rays. Phylloxera never reached the island, so most vines are ungrafted. The vineyards are on steep and quite inaccessible slopes, arranged in terraces, so mules are employed at harvest.
