(2025) This special cuvée of just over 3,000 bottles is 100% Monemvassia, fermented with solids for 30-40 days. 40% of the total volume was aged in new, 500-litre barrels, the remaining 60% in stainless steel tanks. Aromatically it is similar to the regular Monemvassia cuvée, just a little added nuttiness, a touch of walnut husk character maybe. In the mouth the fruit is sweet and ripe, though there's that underlying bite of endive and something quite saline. It's a more complex wine, a little more intense and weighty too.
